For better security, set a passcode that needs to be entered to unlock iPhone or iPad when you turn it on or wake it. Setting a passcode also turns on data protection, which encrypts your iPhone or iPad data so that only someone who knows the passcode can access it.


Note: Your device passcode isn’t your Apple Account password, which provides access to the iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, iCloud and other Apple services.


  • Go to Settings , then do one of the following:
    • On your iPhone or iPad with Face ID: Tap Face ID & Passcode, then tap Turn Passcode On or Change Passcode.
    • On your iPhone or iPad with a Home button: Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then tap Turn Passcode On or Change Passcode.


  • To view options for creating a password, tap Passcode Options. Passcodes default to six digits, but options range from the least secure (four digits) to most secure (alphanumeric).
