How to Use an iPhone Passcode That is Harder to Crack
You are going to be turning off the Simple Passcode feature on your iPhone 5, which allows you to use a longer password. So while it may take longer for you to unlock the phone each time, you can breathe easier knowing that other people will have more difficulty breaking into it. Step 1: Tap the Settings icon.
Step 2: Select the General option.
Step 3: Scroll down and select the Passcode Lock option.
Step 4: Move the slider to the right of Simple Passcode to the Off position, then touch the Turn Passcode On button.
Step 5: Type your passcode into the field, then tap the Next button. It can be any combination of numbers, letters and symbols.
Step 6: Re-type the password, then touch the Done button.
If you want to turn this feature off in the future, return to the Passcode Lock screen, tap the Turn Passcode Off button, then enter the passcode to remove the setting.
