- riffraff 13y agoI have a 5 year old iphone and 6 digit password. So one can be 100 times safer than grandparent without much effort. I presume longer codes are ok on iphones even today?
- _djo_ 13y agoiOS lets you choose between a 4 digit pin or an alphanumeric password of whatever length you want. The 4 digit pin is meant to be more convenient, but even then most smartphone owners don't use it. The point of TouchID was to have a more secure default for most than a 4 digit pin or, more commonly, no pin or password at all. Few people would be happy with having to enter a 12+ character alphanumeric password each time they wanted to use their phone, you're an outlier there.
- rsynnott 13y agoSure, a few people use long passwords on their phones (usually when forced to do so by corporate security policies. However, most don't, because it's impractical. Many don't even use a pin lock.
