I’ve been using Whoop’s sleep tracker for a couple of years and basic information writes to the Apple Health App under the Sleep section. I’m prepping for a time when I don’t use a Whoop tracker and replace it with my AW. To that end, I’m assessing whether to go with the native Apple sleep tracker or that offered by AutoSleep. My confusion centers around information in the AutoSleep user guide indicating one must have a passcode on their AW or key features won’t work with the AutoSleep integration.

Is this indeed correct? I’ve never used a passcode on my AW and don’t recall any other App suggesting it’s a requirement for App functionality. I can’t make the connection between having a passcode on one’s AW and sleep tracking sensors/data recorded.

If it’s indeed a requirement, is it the same for the native Apple sleep tracker? I don’t find any reference to needing a passcode in order for its full functionality to work.

Appreciate the enlightenment around what might be going on with the AutoSleep App and any actual AW passcode requirements.
