Here’s what you can do to avoid it happening again. Set a new passcode: Tom’s Guide Security Editor Paul Wagenseil recommends using a 6-digit passcode created from a random number generator. Memorize the number and write it down on paper somewhere safe. You can change your passcode in the Touch ID & Passcode section of Settings. Use Touch ID or Face ID: This method requires you to have an iPhone with a fingerprint reader — the iPhone 5s through the iPhone 8 Plus — or an iPhone X or later that supports facial recognition. You’ll still want to set a passcode as a backup in case your fingerprint can’t be read (wet fingers can pose a problem) or Face ID doesn’t recognize your face, but most of the time, your finger or face will be all you need to unlock your iPhone. Note: With masks befuddling Face ID, be sure you can remember your passcode for when you're out in public. You'll need it to unlock your iPhone or authenticate Apple Pay purchases.
