It is astonishing how many people don’t realise that you can choose to have a harder-to-crack passcode on your iPhone than the 4 digit default, but Per’s great video really explains well how to do it *and* how you can make sure that stronger password remains memorable.

Of course, the advice works equally well on any iOS device – so you can protect your iPads and iPhone Touches this way too.

Nice one Per!
