Hi Foxfith,


I have tried your method, however, it doesn't allow me to create a 6 digits numerical pass which I have before. I'm being forced to change into 8 digit pass with Uppercase and lowercase alphabets in mix with numbers. I was using the 6 digits pass until earlier, which I thought I have an issue with my account, but actually the issue is with the family sharing. Thereafter I can't change back to my 6 digits password anymore.

Sorry I misinterpreted what it was that you want to do. The following gives the current password requirements: Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support

There isn't any way to have a 6 digit numerical password -- as you already found. With the amount of password hacking going on currently, I suspect that if you were able to change it back you would be putting your account at a significant risk. You are being forced, but I think Apple is doing that with good intentions and that it is in your interest. You can complain (provide feedback) at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
