Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and more.

When you create a new password, keep the following in mind:

• Your new Apple ID password must contain at least eight characters, a number, an uppercase letter, and a lowercase letter.
• You can’t use spaces, the same character three times in a row, your Apple ID, or a password you’ve used in the last year.

Question: Q: How to change email passwords on iPhone

I recently had to change the password for one of my email accounts. I successfully changed it on the email provider’s site, but I cannot see how to update the password on my iPhone 7Plus / ios 13. Alternatively, I would like to delete this email account and add it back into iPhone using the new password, but cannot see how to do this either.

I recently had to restore my Windows 10 PC. I have had to add in again the email accounts but am having difficulty with my @me.com email account. I have looked at my Apple ID settings and added this in but my Apple ID account username is not the same as the @me.com account. So this fix hasn’t worked for me. Can you help please? I can’t seem to find where the password is for my @me.com account anywhere though it is still working on my ipad.

Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to set, use, and change a passcode on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Set a passcode on your device to help protect your data. If your device supports Touch ID, you can often use your fingerprint instead of your passcode. If your device supports Face ID, you can use face recognition instead of your passcode. Your device will require your passcode when you do the following:

• Turn on or restart your device
• Press the Home button or swipe up to unlock your device (you can change this)
• Update your software
• Erase your device
• View or change passcode settings
• Install iOS or iPadOS Configuration profiles

Set up a passcode

Change your settings

Get help with passcode

Set up a passcode

1. On iPhone X and later, or iPad with Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. On earlier iPhone models, go to Touch ID & Passcode. On devices without Touch ID, go to Settings > Passcode.
2. Tap Turn Passcode On.
   
3. Enter a six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.
4. Enter your passcode again to confirm it and activate it.

Change your passcode or passcode settings

On iPhone X and later, or iPad with Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. On earlier iPhone models, go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. On devices without Touch ID, go to Settings > Passcode.

You’ll find several settings and options:

• Turn Passcode Off: Tap this option to turn off your passcode.
• Change Passcode: Enter a new six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.
• Require Passcode: As soon as you lock your screen, the default for this setting will ask you to enter your passcode to unlock. If you don’t want an immediate passcode requirement, change this setting. (For your own security, if you use Touch ID or Apple Pay, you can’t change the immediate passcode requirement).
• Allow Access When Locked: Use this option to allow access to some features when your device is locked, including Today View, Notification Center, Control Center on iPhone and iPod touch or iPad, Siri, Reply with Message, Home Control, Wallet, Return Missed Calls, and USB accessories.
• Erase Data: Choose whether to erase your device automatically after ten failed passcode attempts. If you don’t enable this option, your device will need to be restored on a computer after ten failed attempts.

Get help

Follow the steps in this section for help with things like passcode settings, alerts, and forgotten passwords.

If an alert says to change your passcode or you can’t adjust your passcode settings

Configuration profiles and email accounts based on Microsoft Exchange (common with business or education devices) sometimes have passcode policies that cause issues like this:

• You can’t turn off your passcode.
• You can’t change passcode settings because they’re unavailable, gray, or dimmed.
• You see an alert about a Passcode Requirement. For example, you might see a message that says you must change your iPhone unlock passcode within 60 minutes.

Contact your IT administrator for help. If you don’t use a configuration profile or Microsoft Exchange account, or if your device is personally owned, make sure you update your device to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

If you forgot your passcode

If you or someone else enters the wrong passcode too many times, your device will disable itself temporarily. If so, get help with a forgotten passcode or disabled device. If you forgot your Restrictions passcode, learn what to do.
