Troubleshoot Auto-fill passcode errors on devices running iOS 26 and later

Common errors when using the Auto-fill passcode button on devices running iOS 26 and later:

• Error: Use passcode entry only on the Apple Pay ‘Enter your passcode’ screen.
  This error occurs if you click Auto-fill passcode on a screen other than the Enter your passcode screen. To resolve this error, ensure that you are on the Enter your passcode screen before clicking the Auto-fill passcode button.

• Error: Passcode entry failed. Please try again.

  This error occurs if the passcode automation fails. To resolve this error, click the Auto-fill passcode button again to retry the automation. If the error persists after multiple attempts, contact BrowserStack support for assistance.
