In previous iOS it was only four digit secure code and now in latest iOS 9 Apple has improved by adding small tweak that aimed to improve the security of the device. Instead of defaulting to let users select a four-digit passcode to unlock a device, Apple will now ask users for a six-digit code.
Actually the extra two numbers are meant to make it even harder for a would be hacker to force his or her way into your iOS device. When you first update to iOS 9, at least in its current beta form, Apple doesn’t force you to select a new six-digit security code, however. If you want to increase on your device or perhaps change back to four digit. In this article let us discuss how to secure iOS device with six digit passcode on iOS 9. If you’re not aware simply follow the steps given below :
- Launch the settings application on your device.
- Find and select Touch ID and Passcode.
- Enter the current passcode if when prompted.
- Navigate and select change passcode.
- Enter your current code again.

After finishing simply press the home button to exit the settings application.
