Firstly, go to the settings and click the “Face ID & Password” option from the menubar. Now, select “Change Passcode.” You will be asked to enter the old passcode before creating the new one.

A six-digit password is not easy to memorize as compared to a four-digit one. But, it is recommended to take things a step ahead by using an alphanumeric password.
Go to the “Passcode options” and choose “Custom Alphanumeric Code.”
If you want more security, then choose a word or phrase that is harder to recognize at first look.
I know it is harder for you as well to type “imsmarterthanthief” every time you have to open your phone, but if it is an effort for you, it might be more difficult for the thief.
Step 3: Bottom line

It is noteworthy that, your iPhone’s biometric security measure (Face Unlock or Touch Unlock) should be a default method of unlocking.
