How do I set a 4-digit passcode in iOS 10?

Hello,

Did you have a profile installed? I don't believe it's an app. Did you delete that profile?

Go to Settings > General > Profiles(it'a under VPN)

If there is no profiles tap you deleted it correctly or none were installed.

If there is a profile you can delete it.

• Settings → Touch ID & Passcode
• Change Passcode
• Enter your old passcode
• Passcode Options (just above keypad)
• Select 4-Digit Numeric Code (the other 2 options are Custom Alphanumeric or Custom Numeric Code)

Do you have an employer exchange email account installed, or any MDM profiles installed? Employers can use exchange services to push out their own security certificates to enforce their security model (e.g. make a password mandatory, or make a minimum length password mandatory). The same thing applies to any device under a Managed Deployment Profile.

If you've deleted any profiles and/or any email accounts from your employer or company, then you should have access to all default iOS settings again. You may need to reset the phone though - just hold the power and home buttons down until you see the Apple boot logo on the screen, then let go and let it finish restarting. See if the settings are back after that.

Are you running iOS 10.2.1?

Settings → General → Software Update

If not what is your current iOS version?

Hi

The 6 digit passcode is better for security just use something like your

Month and date of birth like 041971
