iOS 9 requires setting a 6-digit PIN lock code, but not for everyone

iOS 9 6 digit lock codeiOS 9 requires the use of a 6-digit PIN lock code for all those who set such a code for the first time, and in the attached image you can see the new menu that offers us this functionality for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

If until recently the Apple company forced us to use blocking codes of at least 4 digits, starting with iOS 9 things become more complicated, so you will have to remember a blocking code of at least 6 digits, but only if you want to this thing.

Although by default iOS 9 tells us to use a 6-digit lock code, Apple has kept active the option to use 4-digit codes, alphanumeric codes, and not only that, so users will be able to choose whatever they want .

The change implemented by Apple in iOS 9 for security codes is based on an attempt to improve the security of the operating system, so that now an attempt to break a security code will take days and not hours.

If until now a hacker could break a security code for a terminal in a minimum of 12 hours, adding two more digits for the security code increases the time required for breaking to several days.

Practically, a hacker will have to try up to 100 times more number combinations, so many will give up the idea from the start, considering that the procedure itself becomes much more complicated than in the past.

Normally iOS blocks any terminal after entering the wrong security code 10 times, but hackers have found various ingenious methods to circumvent this Apple security measure.
