How to modify the Apple iPhone's passcode
Why Pocket-lint:
(Pocket-lint) is reliable Regardless of whether your iPhone has Touch ID or Face ID, Apple mandates that you set a six-digit passcode as a backup to unlock it. This used to be a four-digit passcode, but a few years ago it was altered. However, you can choose to alter it back to a four-digit number or use a personalised or alphanumeric passcode, which we also cover below.
It also protects your device secure if it were to fall into the wrong hands. Occasionally, you'll be prompted for your iPhone passcode if one of the other biometric methods isn't functioning properly or can't recognise your face or fingerprint.
You've come to the right place if you want to change the passcode on your iPhone because you believe someone may already know it. Assuming you are aware of your existing password, here is how to change it.
How to modify the passcode on your iPhone:
To modify the passcode on your iPhone, follow these steps.
On your iPhone, tap Settings
To access "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode," scroll down.
Enter your existing passcode here.
To change your password, scroll down.
Enter your existing passcode here.
Put in your new passphrase.
Put in your new passcode again.
I'm done now. You won't be able to unlock your device if you forget your new passcode.
How to return the passcode on your iPhone to four digits or a custom code:
Your iPhone's passcode can be changed to be four digits, as it was until the release of iOS 13. A personalised number passcode or an alphanumeric passcode are also options.
On your iPhone, tap Settings:
To access "Face ID & Passcode" or "Touch ID & Passcode," scroll down.
Enter your existing passcode here.
To change your password, scroll down.
Enter your existing passcode here.
Click or tap "Passcode Options"
Choose "Custom Numeric Code," "4-Digit Numeric Code," or "Alphanumeric Code."
Select a new passcode.
Check your new passphrase
Click "Done"
If you select Alphanumeric, you can decide to use a written password containing letters rather than just digits as your iPhone passcode. It's also important to keep in mind that your phone won't be as safe if you decide to go back to a four-digit passcode.
