Set a Stronger Passcode
Since most of us use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock our iPhones, it’s understandable that may not give much thought to a passcode you rarely use.
However, the weaker your passcode, the easier it is to get into your iPhone. The good news is that you can create an even stronger password than just a simple six-digit code. Here’s how:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and go to Face ID & Passcode.
- Enter your passcode.
- Scroll down one more time and tap on Change Passcode.
- Enter your current passcode.
- Before entering a new passcode, tap on Passcode Options at the bottom.
- Select how hard you want your passcode to be.
- Now, enter your new passcode.
This will make your passcode harder to crack, but in case you forget which passcode you used, you’ll have up to 72 hours to use your previous passcode to reset the new one if you forget about it.
