RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Cher Bosch]

Thank you for your comment. After the update, I was presented with that initial 
‘Hello’ screen and instructed to set up the iPhone. I don’t think that normally 
happens when moving from 14.3 to 14.4 for example. Anyway, all is well now.

Hi! Cher:

 

Michael McKay here. Thank you for the information. As I had mentioned in my 
last email to the group, I downloaded and installed the update last night.

 

I was waiting for it to say it needed or required the digital code for some 
reason the iOS 14.4 upgrade or update did not even ask me for it.

 

Instead it went straight to the main screen of my iPhone, and was totally 
updated. I do not know What the reason is that it’s requiring it for some 
users, but not for others I would ask if someone has the time to find out or to 
inquire maybe they could let us know, but on my end everything is functioning 
well, and working fine.

 

I have no doubt that one day they will absolutely requires a code no matter 
what but this time around I didn’t have to enter one.

 

All the best to you, And fellow List members.

 

Have a blessed weekend!

 

Michael G. McKay BA, ‘05.

If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can 
choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something 
alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you 
unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Cher Bosch]

I‘m the original poster and I already had an established 4 digit numeric 
passcode. After updating, I was not getting an option button to choose anything 
except to provide a 6 digit code. Apple did a screen share and the rep saw the 
same scenario- that I had experienced many, many times. He had me flick both 
directions several times to verify that I was not being presented with any 
other options. In my previous replies, I have explained the full order of 
events.

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Cher Bosch]

I’m the original poster. I had a 4 digit code before updating. During the 
set-up after the update, the dialog demanded that I put in a 6 digit code. 
Putting in my 4 digit code would not satisfy the dialog. I was not provided any 
options- and backing out of the screen and trying again presented the same 
demand for a 6 digit code. The 3 finger flick up eventually provided an options 
button- which let me choose a 4 digit code. You can turn it off afterward in 
‘Touch ID and Passcodes’.

I have not done the update yet. But, is there still the option not to have a 
passcode. No one else ever gets my phone, and I do not like having to enter a 
passcode. So, do I still have the option to not use a passcode?

If you have a pass code that is four characters,

The phone should not need you to change that to a 6 digit code before 
installing the update,

 

If anything it would prompt you after you restart as part of a setup option to 
create a new and longer pass code,

 

And even that I would think is crazy of apple to force at that point.

Wow! I wonder if there was an earlier option. Only thing to do here is create a 
six digit passcode and then after setup, go into settings and change it to 
something more suitable later. I can't imagine they'd remove the option to 
customize your passcode from the passcode and id settings. Unfortunately, no 
brilliant ideas occur to me.

If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can 
choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something 
alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you 
unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other 
circumstances when you'll be occasionally asked for your passcode.

That 4-digit code is what is known as a passcode.

Pass codes should not be affected. I still use Touch ID, with the same

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Simon A Fogarty]

You mean once to authorise the installation and once again when your phone 
restarted and you had to access your phone

Yes that would be correct as the last step in the installation process is to 
restart the phone / tablet and then of course you have to unlock it with your 
passcode

Yes, of course.  Nothing has changed.
The original poster did not have a passcode to begin with, and was confused 
because they were being asked to create one.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Entering a passcode is no big deal.  I've got an easy 4 digit code,
and even if the only person who uses my phone is me, I would never
under any circumstances not use a passcode.  I think of the passcode
kind of like if I had a password on my computer to put in whenever I
turned it on.  I don't have a password on my computer, but I know some
people do.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I had to put in my 4 digit code twice.  Once before I downloaded the
update, and once after it installed.  I had no issues updating to IOS
14.4.

I was prompted and my iPhone is passcode protected already. I put in the code I 
already use.

  That is what I suspected all along.
  You are being prompted to enter a passcode because you didn’t have one before 
the update.
  There is no reason why you cannot continue using your device without a 
passcode if that is what you want.

  Hi Marie,

  So I'm curious. Did you set up another 4 digit passcode on your 12 Mini 
before you were able to upgrade to iOS 14.4? I'm trying to establish some 
pattern as to why some folks upgrading their devices were taken to a new 
passcodes screen while the majority of those replying were not. I had to 
provide my existing 4 digit passcode before the upgrade would even download and 
install and I was never taken to a new passcodes screen during the process. I 
expect there must be something similar between Cher's and your facts that 
resulted in both of you being taken to the new passcodes screen.

  Cher,

  I'm a bit confused because I thought I'd read all the posts in this thread. 
Are you saying that you upgraded your device which previously had a 4 digit 
passcode to iOS 14.4. and during that process you were presented with a screen 
requesting a new 6 digit passcode? If that is the case, your experience seems 
to differ with what everyone else who has posted experienced including myself. 
That leads me to believe that either my understanding of what has happened is 
incorrect or you need to provide some additional details in order for us to 
help. Based on my experience, it sounds as if you are on a new device setup 
screen where the default is to prompt the user to set up a 6 digit passcode but 
also provides an option to opt for a 4 digit passcode as others have posted. I 
was not presented with any such screen when updating to iOS 14.4 so either your 
facts disagree with my understanding or your facts need a different subject 
line. I would agree with Richard that you might call Apple Accessibility but I 
suspect they will ask for the additional details I requested above.

  I hope you can get this sorted.

If you have a pass code that is four characters,

The phone should not need you to change that to a 6 digit code before 
installing the update,

 

If anything it would prompt you after you restart as part of a setup option to 
create a new and longer pass code,

 

And even that I would think is crazy of apple to force at that point.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[l . d . ethier23]

Sorry Richard, 
I probably wasn't clear. Of course, it's too easy!
I just want to tell, if you do the update and before, you wasn't using a pass 
code and after you are invited to enter a code, Apple says that you should use 
123456 or 00. They add this security but when don't know you try many codes 
and you lock your device.

I just went up to 14.4 from 13.7. I had to install through iTunes. I couldn't 
upgrade through my SE iPhone. What a mess!

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Richard Turner]

You would only use those passcodes if you wanted your phone used by anyone on 
the planet. That is like using the word password for your password.
Too easy to guess.

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Simon A Fogarty]

If you have a pass code that is four characters,
The phone should not need you to change that to a 6 digit code before 
installing the update,

If anything it would prompt you after you restart as part of a setup option to 
create a new and longer pass code,

And even that I would think is crazy of apple to force at that point.

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Alan Lemly]

Hi Marie,

 

So I'm curious. Did you set up another 4 digit passcode on your 12 Mini before 
you were able to upgrade to iOS 14.4? I'm trying to establish some pattern as 
to why some folks upgrading their devices were taken to a new passcodes screen 
while the majority of those replying were not. I had to provide my existing 4 
digit passcode before the upgrade would even download and install and I was 
never taken to a new passcodes screen during the process. I expect there must 
be something similar between Cher's and your facts that resulted in both of you 
being taken to the new passcodes screen.

No, she is not wrong about it asking for a new passcode. I updated my 12 Mini 
to 14.4 yesterday and was also asked about face ID and Passcode. However, I did 
see the passcode options button.

Cher,

 

I'm a bit confused because I thought I'd read all the posts in this thread. Are 
you saying that you upgraded your device which previously had a 4 digit 
passcode to iOS 14.4. and during that process you were presented with a screen 
requesting a new 6 digit passcode? If that is the case, your experience seems 
to differ with what everyone else who has posted experienced including myself. 
That leads me to believe that either my understanding of what has happened is 
incorrect or you need to provide some additional details in order for us to 
help. Based on my experience, it sounds as if you are on a new device setup 
screen where the default is to prompt the user to set up a 6 digit passcode but 
also provides an option to opt for a 4 digit passcode as others have posted. I 
was not presented with any such screen when updating to iOS 14.4 so either your 
facts disagree with my understanding or your facts need a different subject 
line. I would agree with Richard that you might call Apple Accessibility but I 
suspect they will ask for the additional details I requested above.

 

I hope you can get this sorted.

If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can 
choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something 
alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you 
unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other 
circumstances when you'll be occasionally asked for your passcode.

RE: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Cher Bosch]

Yes- your understanding is correct. I called Apple and all the same screens 
presented themselves- with the same lack of options. After several attempts to 
find alternatives, he had me do a 3 finger swipe up and flick through the 
screens again- both left and right. Suddenly the options button magically 
appeared and this allowed me to choose a 4 digit code again. Thanks to all who 
replied- it is great to have so many folks in your corner when you’re about to 
pull your hair out!

Wow! I wonder if there was an earlier option. Only thing to do here is create a 
six digit passcode and then after setup, go into settings and change it to 
something more suitable later. I can't imagine they'd remove the option to 
customize your passcode from the passcode and id settings. Unfortunately, no 
brilliant ideas occur to me.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Michael Feir]

Wow! I wonder if there was an earlier option. Only thing to do here is
create a six digit passcode and then after setup, go into settings and
change it to something more suitable later. I can't imagine they'd remove
the option to customize your passcode from the passcode and id settings.
Unfortunately, no brilliant ideas occur to me.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

Pass codes should not be affected. I still use Touch ID, with the same 4-digit 
code on my SE 2020. Good luck!

If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can 
choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something 
alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you 
unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other 
circumstances when you'll be occasionally asked for your passcode.

There should be a passcode options button. If not, call Apple Accessibility.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

[Richard Turner]

there should be an option, though Apple recommends 6 for better security, but 
you should be able to choose a 4 digit passcode, and if that is what you had, 
you should be able to just use it. 


Richard

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
-- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
