Privacy Settings - Setup iOS Passcode - Alphanumeric

more options

Hello, I am fairly new here, but decided to post because I noticed that the Firefox iOS app does not support alphanumeric passcodes under the privacy settings tab.

For example, some people choose to create an alphanumeric passcode instead of a 6 digit passcode on their iOS device for greater security. It appears that I cannot enable passcode authentication on the Firefox app because it will not accept alphanumeric text.

Maybe something to update on the next rollout, please advise if I am missing something here.
