• Open General.
• Scroll down and tap on Passcode Lock. (The default passcode in iOS is four digits — if you would like to set an alphanumeric passcode, slide the Simple Passcode toggle to Off)
• Now, select Turn Passcode On.
• Enter a four-digit passcode, or an alphanumeric passcode of any length.
• Re-type your passcode to confirm.
• Set Require Passcode to the desired time — this will be the amount of idle time before your iPhone will require you to enter the passcode.
