6 digits and touch ID. For a short time I used an alphanumeric (9 digit) password, but at the time didn't know about the lock/delay feature the secures the device.

6 digits and fingerprint. Why? As easy as it is to steal someone's identity these days, I'm not taking any changes.

Plus, even though it's my personal phone, I do have work email and apps on it.

I am trying to get some metrics and I figured what better way than to reach out to the amazing diverse members of iMore.

Here is the question:

Do you have a passcode on your iPhone? If so is it longer than 6 characters.

Post why or why not.

Yes. My phone stays on my desk all day at work. My mother has medical conditions and I'm in charge of her appointments and medicines. I need to be able to see when she messages me because it is usually urgernt. However, I am very busy at work and I am more often than not on my feet somewhere around the dental office. I like knowing that my immature coworkers cant mess with my Facebook status or make random calls while I'm away from my phone.

Also, online banking and password storage as well.

No one needs to be in my devices without my permission. I use a 6 character passcode.

A 6-digit security code and Touch ID is a must. We don’t want the wife seeing messages to/from the girlfriend now do we? iKid, iKid!
