How to change the password on an iPhone
Want a little more iPhone security than your current four-digit password offers? It may seem like a small change, but the two additional numbers increase the possible combinations from 10,000 to a million. Or, how about the other way around? Apple has six-digit default passcodes on newer iPads and iPhones for better iPhone security, but not everyone wants to enter a longer iPhone passcode. We have gone over how to change your iPhone passcode to an alphanumeric code. Now, here we show you how to change the password on your iPhone or iPad to a six-digit password or back to a four-digit password.

- Open the Settings app.
- Please select Touch ID and password (or Face ID and password on newer devices)
- Please select Change Password.

- Enter your new, six-digit password for iPad or iPhone.
