RE: Number of characters required for IPhone password
There is an option to go back to a 4-digit passcode, you just have to explore the entire screen as it's not called "Use 4-digit passcode" or something easy like that. There is also a button to use a more secure alpha-numeric password meaning something using letters and numbers and more like a password than a PIN, but just make sure you check all the buttons/options and you'll find it.

Subject: Number of characters required for IPhone
password
Hi everyone,
I have an IPhone 12 mini and have a four
digit password that I use. When recently looking at changing
it, I was faced with putting in six characters. Does this
mean that I would have to have a six character password if I
were to change it?

No it does not. You should have a choice of whether to put in a 6 character passcode, or a 4 digit one.
