Hello,
Every time I try to upload a file on Facebook in Messenger, a security check window pops up and asks me to type the characters displayed in the password box. Why?

Thank you for your help

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 59.0.3071.115

Hello,

This is to verify if you are indeed a human, as opposed to bots (malicious) which are programs that automate certain operations.

Hello

This has never happened to me before, I find it very annoying. I transfer a lot of files for my work. Waste of unnecessary time

Thank you

Sure, but it's more secure this way; it prevents bots from impersonating humans and flooding the site with unnecessary or even dangerous files.
