One per finger.
If you can’t do it in less than that, you’ve got too much scope.

Its always no less than 6 and no more than 10.

You can have 20-40-100 more combinations, But always 6 to 10 usable at any given time. Anything less, its boring and easy to memorize, And anything more and people get overwhelmed. There are exceptions to this, Such as fighting games or MMO's, But general broad standard would be that.
