Apple to Improve Security by Requiring 6-Digit Passcodes
Jun 9, 2015, 9:42 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Apple's iOS 9 operating system will require some device users to upgrade their passcode from four digits to six. There are only 10,000 possible passcodes using four-digits, which means it is possible for hackers to break in using a brute force attack in mere hours. By adding two digits, iOS 9 ups the possible number of passcodes to 1 million. This dramatically increases the amount of time it would take hackers to force their way into an iOS 9 device. This new security requirement will affect the iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad Mini 3. iOS 9 is expected to arrive in the fall.
