Depending on how you handle your iPhone, not allowing anyone to access your iPhone, use a 6 digit passcode.

Do not visit questionable websites.


To keep your Apple ID account secure, see the following Apple articles:

Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 

Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.
