Password layout

How do I change my password layout back to the big bubbles (like your about to dial a phone number) vs. the little bar? I don’t know how mine changed like this but I hate it! Also, when I try and press password options, there is no 6 digit option, only the letter option. Help!

Possible way to see password as being typed on macOS and iOS? Apple defaults are set not to show passwords as typed. Designed for coffee shop sign-ins and adolescents, I assume. Some website allow option to Show Password, but otherwise Apple default is not to show. Particularly hard for me on iPhone. I see the letter I typed for a second or 2 if I remember to look up from keyboard to password. Moments later, just see the ubiquitous dots. I'm old. I make mistakes typing. On text I get to see what I typed and correct. Only on passwords do I have to hit Enter, to find if made mistake, and usually must reenter both email and password. I don’t have anyone reading over my shoulder. I don't need or want to hide the passwords from myself. I'm afraid I know the answer, but is there any way to change default on macOS and iOS from Hide to Show? Thanks.

Settings > Face ID & Passcode > [enter passcode] > Change Passcode > [enter passcode] > Passcode Options

An iPhone that’s managed can have different passcode requirements.

The passcode is the decryption key for the contents of the iPhone, should the iPhone be lost or stolen.

Face ID is a means to reduce the number of times the passcode need be entered, which can make using a longer passcode more tenable.

The custom numeric code is the current equivalent of the six-character passcode.
