If I update my SE2020 iPhone to iOS 27.2.1 will I need a six digit passcode?
Or is my older four digit passcode still good?
Last time I did an update I could not get in with the four digit passcode.
iPhone SE, iOS 18
Your passcode will stay unless you change it.
Last time I did an update I could not get in with the four digit passcode.
If you could not get in with a four digit passcode, then you must have had to have changed to a six digit to run the update.
That means that you will need to enter the same six digit passcode to continue to update the phone going forward.
I have used 4 digits for years and expect to continue, unless you know something new.
Will iPhone SE 2020 require a 6-digit passcode after iOS 27.2.1 update?
