I forgot my password again! I changed it a few days ago but already forgot!
What is my phone's password this month?

Hint #1:
My passwords do tend to be fairly long, as mentioned in the comments.
Hint #2:
The number itself may not have been on the moon, but maybe something it shares a trait with.

Your lock code is
115132219018763992565095597973971522401
The reason
Neil Armstrong was the first man on moon. Armstrong number is an n-digit number in which sum of n-th power of each digit is equal to the number itself.
E.g. - 371 = 3^3 + 7^3 + 1^3. (3 digit number so power of 3).
Using this rationale, we find that
115132219018763992565095597973971522401 is the largest known armstrong number as per this and has 39 digits.
No wonder you forgot it!

Okay, so first of all, I checked the image and contrast to see if there was something hidden there. I couldn't find anything. Next, I followed the literal interpratation of the text, that is:
The first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong. I tried looking for any items that he wore that would have a serial number or something like that. According to this site, https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-speedmaster-professional-105-012-with-serial-number-2400xxxx/, the Speedwatches were the only ones used on the moon.
Neil Armstrong's serial number on his watch (again, according to the site) is 24002981, which I believe is your password.

As a number, you don't need people onboard to be first on the moon.

Perhaps the password is
1959
Explanation:
Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to make contact with the moon.
According to Wikipedia, Luna 2 was engraved with "1959 январь" and "СОЮЗ СОВЕТСКИХ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКИХ РЕСПУБЛИК"1, making "1959" the first number on the moon.
Furthermore, phone passcodes are typically 4 digits long, so using a year as a passcode makes sense.

Pursuant to Hint 1 however, this does not quite match, thus making it unlikely to be the answer; nevertheless, I like it! $(+1)$ :P

Perhaps the password is
11 or eleven or some variation of it
because
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to the moon, and it had the “largest number” of anything that was first to the moon, greater that Luna 2, which was the first successful unmanned spacecraft to land.

There are a lot of ways to find numbers that are "first on the moon", so this question may need some more specificity to rule out answers; right now there doesn't seem to be any criteria beyond "the largest" number an answerer might justify somehow, which is probably too broad.
It's possible the password is
201901030226
We know that
OP uses passwords that are usually pretty long, as we learned in Unlock My Phone! January 2018.
We're looking for the largest "first on the moon" number.
China recently made the first landing ever on the far side of the moon - the robotic
Chang'e 4 mission touched down in the Von Kármán Crater at 10:26am Jan. 3, Beijing time.
This is clearly a "first" on the moon, both for China (first moon landing at all) and for humanity (first landing on the dark side of the moon).
If we take the date and time, in GMT, of this moon landing, we get 201901030226. Seconds were not given, so this is the most specific timedate stamp we can get.
Since this is the most recent moon landing, if we were to consider any other "first" - by nation, by mission type, whatever - and take their corresponding YYYYMMDDHMM number, this one would be the largest.

Hopefully my hint helped a bit, and I'll add more hints as time goes by if people still aren't getting it.

The answer is
9.5 Because it's the boot size Neil Armstrong had when first setting foot on the moon.
Thus it was "the largest number to be first on the moon"

Okay, so first of all, I checked the image and contrast to see if there was something hidden there. I couldn't find anything. Next, I followed the literal interpratation of the text, that is:
The first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong. I tried looking for any items that he wore that would have a serial number or something like that. According to this site, https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-speedmaster-professional-105-012-with-serial-number-2400xxxx/, the Speedwatches were the only ones used on the moon.
Neil Armstrong's serial number on his watch (again, according to the site) is 24002981, which I believe is your password.

As a number, you don't need people onboard to be first on the moon.

On the right track with Armstrong, but looking in the wrong direction for the number. Maybe what you've got so far and my second hint will get you closer!

Perhaps the password is
1959
Explanation:
Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to make contact with the moon.
According to Wikipedia, Luna 2 was engraved with "1959 январь" and "СОЮЗ СОВЕТСКИХ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКИХ РЕСПУБЛИК"1, making "1959" the first number on the moon.
Furthermore, phone passcodes are typically 4 digits long, so using a year as a passcode makes sense.

Pursuant to Hint 1 however, this does not quite match, thus making it unlikely to be the answer; nevertheless, I like it! $(+1)$ :P

Perhaps the password is
11 or eleven or some variation of it
because
Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to the moon, and it had the “largest number” of anything that was first to the moon, greater that Luna 2, which was the first successful unmanned spacecraft to land.

There are a lot of ways to find numbers that are "first on the moon", so this question may need some more specificity to rule out answers; right now there doesn't seem to be any criteria beyond "the largest" number an answerer might justify somehow, which is probably too broad.
It's possible the password is
201901030226
We know that
OP uses passwords that are usually pretty long, as we learned in Unlock My Phone! January 2018.
We're looking for the largest "first on the moon" number.
China recently made the first landing ever on the far side of the moon - the robotic
Chang'e 4 mission touched down in the Von Kármán Crater at 10:26am Jan. 3, Beijing time.
This is clearly a "first" on the moon, both for China (first moon landing at all) and for humanity (first landing on the dark side of the moon).
If we take the date and time, in GMT, of this moon landing, we get 201901030226. Seconds were not given, so this is the most specific timedate stamp we can get.
Since this is the most recent moon landing, if we were to consider any other "first" - by nation, by mission type, whatever - and take their corresponding YYYYMMDDHMM number, this one would be the largest.

Hopefully my hint helped a bit, and I'll add more hints as time goes by if people still aren't getting it.

In January 1969, NASA prepared an itemized estimate of the run-out cost of the Apollo program. The total came to $23.9 billion

The answer is
9.5 Because it's the boot size Neil Armstrong had when first setting foot on the moon.
Thus it was "the largest number to be first on the moon"

As a small recommendation, linked with Rubio's answer, if the January 2018 puzzle's hint also applies to this question, it would be better to also place it. It's better to get a repeated hint than a missing yet important hint
