Messenger PIN code
kiki3332 -  

Hello everyone, when I'm on my Messenger messaging, they ask me to enter a PIN code to retrieve messages but I don't know where to find it?? Usually, whenever I have a code, I always put it in the same place, but this time nothing???

      Hello
      In principle, and unless I'm mistaken, the pin code in Messenger is only used for payments or for end-to-end encryption of Messenger.
      To deactivate this function, you must have already activated it, and if that were the case, you need to know this code. Because a pin code can be found nowhere else except in the mind of the person who defined it.

      Best regards
