Messenger pin code?

jarailet -  

Hello,

Is this new? Messenger is asking me to enter my PIN code (otherwise, part of the conversations... etc... etc...)
Everything was working fine until today. But where is "my" PIN code? I don't remember having to enter or compose that on Facebook or Messenger which have been working for quite some time...
Can I find it somewhere?
Thank you.
