This is how you can make the screen lock on the iPhone more secure


8. Avoid 1234 and 0000

Sure, you can protect your phone with Face ID or the Touch ID fingerprint reader. If identification fails, however, it is your lock code that is used and if the thief has glanced over your shoulder, it can be easy to enter even for a stranger. It will of course be even easier if you have an easy code like 1234 or 0000. Therefore, you can make sure to switch to a more difficult one.

Under Settings, Face ID and password (or equivalent if you have Touch ID), you can change the code. It is possible to enter a four-digit code, a longer series of numbers or a mixture of numbers and letters. The latter is of course the most secure, and if you have Face ID or Touch ID, you rarely need to enter it yourself.
