Has anyone else got this? I've never had to change my passcode before... this is strange and making me do it in the time limit.
Got a tip for us?

Passcode must be changed in 60 mins counting?

Luckily after dismissing it a few times it soon just went away and I didn't have to change it
Generally the passcode change request is a result of someone using a phone given to them by work or having a profile installed for work software. This profile enables one's employer to request password changes.
Oh right I see, no this is not the case for me at all its a personal phone I purchased myself from Apple
I had the same thing a few days ago. I also don't have any enterprise profiles installed and I'm on iOS 10 beta 2.

Just had this happen to me, my passcode is 20 characters long, upper case, lowercase, symbols and numbers. It has me revert to a 6 digit passcode? What a dumb bug.
The issue isn't specific to iOS 10. This pop up happened for many in iOS 9 as well. (Perhaps even earlier, but I've only ever seen people mention it since iOS 9)
What's strange is why it would ask me to change my password from a VERY secure one to a 6 digit numerical one, that's a step backward. Seems like a bug to me.
