I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S20 plus 5g that I have owned for about five weeks or so. The runtime was all zeros which is a great thing. I would like to know if I can use "6" characters or more for my pin instead of the standard "4"? I have always used biometrics and then there are those days that the phone wants to confirm it's me besides using the biometrics at that time. I appreciate everyone's input.

On my S22 I can to set a longer PIN in Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Lock Screen -> Screen Lock. The only requirement is a minimum of 4 digits, but if you keep typing it will allow you to enter a longer one, not sure of the max length. As far as I'm aware, it should be the same on your S20 as well.

You can use a 6 digit pin. I think you can use longer, but if you can't, you can always use a number sequnce as a password instead of a pin.
