Description

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

A fixed PIN length is undesirable as users may want a different length for a plethora of reasons, a key one that comes to mind being that a user might want the PIN to be the same as the one they use to unlock their iPhone, which is usually 6 numbers long.

iOS version

iOS 12.5.1

App version

v3.1.0.7
