The information on the iPhone means a lot to us, and no one want to expose the iPhone data to others. It's a matter of personal privacy. Regardless of this fact, setting a passcode for your iPhone is the initial step in securing personal information from prying eyes.
Your iPhone features a simple passcode, which is convenient to use, but limited to a 4-digit number. You probably know that the four-digital PIN is not the securest way to lock your iPhone. Luckily, for those want to beef up the security of their iPhones, Apple allows you to replace with complex passcode (that is, a passcode with letters, numbers, and special characters). Here we will show you how to improve security on iPhone with a complex passcode.

Step 2. Toggle the Simple Passcode to Off, and it will ask you to type in the old passcode.

Step 4. Tap Done. Your iPhone will now be locked with the improved passcode.

You can further improve the password security by shortening the time interval: go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Require Passcode. Shorter times are more secure, and requiring a passcode immediately provides maximum security, but it might cause the inconvenience for typing to unlock.
