Need to enter a long password on iPhone SE

Just purchased a new iPhone SE and want to use the Apple Password I have already. It is longer than 6 numbers/letters and my iPhone won't let enter more than 6 numbers/letters. Can you please assist?? Can't see any options listed!!!!

If this is during Activation, you should have an option when it prompts you for a passcode to select something other than the 6 or 4-digit passcode. I cannot remember exactly how the screen looks. Let me see if I can find an example.


EDIT: If you are setting up, then when you get to the screen to create the passcode, you should see this.

And you need to click on the link there above the keypad that says, "Passcode Options". That will let you choose a different type of passcode.
