Think someone has figured out your iPhone passcode? If so, consider changing your passcode to something different and stronger. We’ll show you how to do exactly that on your phone.
In this guide, we assume that you know your current password and want to change it to something else. In case you’ve forgotten your password, check out our other guide on that topic.

Change iPhone Passcode
To begin the passcode update process, launch Settings on your iPhone.
In Settings, select “Touch ID & Passcode” or “Face ID & Passcode” (depending on your iPhone model).
Enter your current iPhone passcode to continue.
Scroll down the page that opens and tap “Change Passcode”.
On the “Change Passcode” page, enter your current passcode.
When the message “Enter your new access code” appears, type in the new access code you want to use. If you want to use a different type of passcode, tap “Passcode Options.”
If you chose “Passcode Options”, select one of three types:
- Custom alphanumeric code: Choose this option to set a passcode that contains letters and numbers.
- Custom numeric code: Select this option to set a passcode that only contains numbers. Letters are not allowed.
- 4-digit numeric code: This option allows you to set a four-digit numeric access code.
On the “Verify your new access code” page, enter your new access code one more time.
And that is. Your passcode has been successfully changed on your iPhone. You will now use this new code every time you want to unlock your iPhone. Enjoy!
While you’re at it, you may want to customize when your iPhone automatically locks itself or have your iPhone wipe all your data after multiple failed password attempts. Check out our guides to learn how to use these features.
