When you open the Settings app > Touch ID/Face ID & Passcode, you see the option to Change Passcode. You have three Passcode options to choose from:

  1. 4-digit Numeric Code
  2. Custom Numeric Code (you may also see 6-digit Numeric Code)
  3. Custom Alphanumeric Code.


If you choose Custom Numeric Code, you can set a password that has more than 6 numbers. I just set a long number password (see the image below). You can do the same if you choose Custom Alphanumeric Code.
