Password back to PIN number

To access my company servers at work I had to change my PIN number to a password, due to having to wear a facemask Face ID can be difficult and a cumbersome password is a pain, is there a way to go back to a PIN number? Password change won’t accept digits only so you I’m stuck.


many thanks

If you still are accessing your employer's servers for emails etc. then the company has also installed a profile on your iPhone. One of the restrictions is to not be able to use simple passcode. You are therefore entering a complex passcode.

You are not going to be able to change to a simple passcode as long as that company profile remains on your iPhone. You will need to remove company data and the profile will then be gone and you then you can change your passcode to simple.
