User level: Level 1 (5 points)If I update my SE2020 iPhone to iOS 27.2.1 will I need a six digit passcode?
Or is my older four digit passcode still good?
Last time I did an update I could not get in with the four digit passcode.

Your passcode will stay unless you change it.

If you could not get in with a four digit passcode, then you must have had to have changed to a six digit to run the update.
That means that you will need to enter the same six digit passcode to continue to update the phone going forward.

I have used 4 digits for years and expect to continue, unless you know something new.
