Passcode for iPhone 12 pro

I want to change my passcode numeric , from 12 characters to 4 characters number, but my phone don't let me do it because the new passcode is "to easy".

How can I do it?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Is your iPhone issued to you by your school or work? If YES then your school / employer has set up a profile which will prevent you to create an easy four digit passcode. If this is your personal iPhone and not issued to you by school / employer then-

You may have Screen Time Restrictions set to ON.

Open Settings ➔ Screen Time ➔ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➔Passcode Changes : Set this to ALLOW.

You can't. The shortest allowed passcode is now 6. (Unless it has been increased since last time I tried)

EDIT - I'm wrong, you can go to passcode options where it asks for a new passcode, and select a 4 digit passcode. I wouldn't reccomend it though if you care about security.
