Impossible for us to know if you are using different Apple IDs on each device.
What we can tell you is that the screen unlock passcode on a device is not related to the logged-in Apple ID on the device, as those are seperate things. You don enter your Apple ID password to access an iPad or iPhone when you pick it up though.
You can see if you have the same Apple ID on both devices in Settings ➜ Account (tap on your name). Whatever email is logged in there will appear under your picture
Yout screen unlock passcodes can still be different from the Apple ID password and different between the devices though. If you want to make the screen unlock passcodes the same for both devices, you can go to Settings ➜ Face ID / Touch ID & Passcode ➜ Change Passcode and make them the same.
click here ➜ Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support
