Asked for a password to open Touch ID protected file.

I’m asked for a password, using my phone, to open a file I set with Touch ID protection on my Mac. I don’t recall setting an actual password. The file is stored iCloud. Ios27 new phone. Any tips how I can open it or where to access password?

Did you try your 6 digit code to unlock your device?

Yes, 4 digit, didn’t work (same 4 digit code I use on my Mac)
