This bit of news may intrigue you iPhone users out there. Apparently most people (if not everyone) has been using the security passcode not to its full potential of high-security. Many users use the simple passcode option that allows for a four-digit PIN in order to access your iPhone but with one simple toggle switch, you can make a passcode from 5 to 15 characters as well as make it an alphanumeric passcode. It’s super easy to set up, all you need to do is:
- Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
- Toggle Simple Passcode to Off.
- Tap Turn Passcode On or Enter Your New Passcode (you should the option to add more than four characters now)
By simply adding an extra digit or a combination of numbers and letters now you give would-be thieves hell to access the information within your phone. Nothing more discouraging than someone taking more than 2 1/2 years to try all the combinations of a 9-digit all numbers passcode or 5 1/2 years for a 6-character alphanumeric passcode.
