if you want a quick solution, but an inexpensive (read not Apple) keypad, case combo. I have one where the keypad just lifts off via magnetic connection. The case, keypad combo less than $40.00. I use the iPad mostly for travel, and at home streaming.

fyi the constant passcode could be the two factor authentication that Apple is just about demanding now. Be aware if you do not want this feature, you must uninstall it in less than I believe one week, if you do not, it will be the defacto security system for the life of your product.
