Security and privacy are our top priorities, so let's dive in and learn how to protect your messages with a PIN code.
More Information: techunow.com/how-to/create-pi...
But before we get into the details, let's quickly understand what a PIN code is in Messenger's end-to-end encryption.
A PIN code in Messenger's end-to-end encryption is a unique 6-digit password that you create to safeguard your encrypted messages. It serves as an additional layer of security and is required to restore your old messages on a new mobile device or computer.
🔶Step-by-step process of creating or resetting your PIN🔶
1. First, open the Messenger app on your mobile device.
2. After that, tap on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Next, tap on the settings icon to open your Messenger profile.
4. Now, scroll down until you find 'Privacy and Safety' and tap on it.
5. From here, locate and tap on 'End-to-End Encrypted Chats'.
6. Now, you are in the end-to-end encrypted chat settings.
7. Next, tap on 'Message Storage' to access the PIN code options.
8. Under the 'Security Methods' section, you will find the option to 'Reset PIN and Generate 40-Character Code'.
9. For simplicity, I recommend using the PIN code, as it is easier to remember for future use. Simply tap on 'Reset PIN' to proceed.
10. If you cannot find the 'Reset PIN' option, it means you haven't enabled secure storage yet. In that case, tap on 'Secure Storage' and follow the prompts to enable it.
11. Once you have access to reset your PIN, you can set your new 6-digit password.
12. Enter your desired 6-digit PIN code.
13. Again confirm your PIN code by entering it once again.
You have successfully created or reset your end-to-end encryption PIN in Messenger. Now, your old messages are secure and can only be accessed with your 6-digit PIN code.

i have the option to turn on the secure storage but when i click it it says to write my pin but i dont know my f pin can somebody help??

[@JNinj]

THANK YOU! :D I knew how to change passwords! But not the messanger codes.

[@purple_dragon4895]

Its annoying as hell cause i dont have mine on and keeps telling me to put in a pin lost alot of chats cause it deleted them

[@techunow]

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with the PIN feature on Messenger, and it's causing some of your old chats to be deleted. To access those old chats that are end-to-end encrypted, you need to enter your old PIN on your new device. Otherwise, those old end-to-end encrypted chats might be lost.

[@purple_dragon4895]

[@mieshadaks6738]

Same here I dont remember putting any pin in messenger

[@Ayaz-bq3ck]

The way I fixed it is from the same page under manage secure storage , click “turn off secure storage” and then create another one cuz if u don’t ur chats aren’t saved on cloud and might get lost. Turning it off doesn’t delete them.

[@vickimaroney800]

That's a great help. Thank you!

[@andraspirkner5949]

I'm f#>& with this. I set a pin, and it does not accept it! It doesnt even recognize my phone as part of this privacy system. Other methods not work either, I dont recieve any code or pass, yet this stupid pin is constantly being asked and not accepted.... wtf????

How to set up a pin because i never have had a pin number for my messenger and it has never popped up on there before

[@JustineGudilos]

I don't have option like "reset pin"

[@miguelpanergo6353]

THANKK YOUU BROOO

[@chriskatselis1338]

I never input a pin for this feature. Yet after the update it asks me for a pin which I don't know, and I can't reset. How can I input the pin when I never turned on secure storage? I never switched to a new device and I literally can't do anything to get the pin I supposedly have. Let's say I do have a pin and forgot it. The secure storage is off! How can I reset it? It's impossible and dumb

[@techunow]

If you've never set a PIN for the secure storage feature in Messenger but are being prompted for one after an update, it can indeed be perplexing. If you forget your PIN, you would reset it from the original device where you set it up initially. However, if the secure storage feature was never activated or utilized, and you're unable to recall setting a PIN, it does seem puzzling.

[@chriskatselis1338]

And then out of frustration I tried to guess the pin and i guess it. Maybe you set the pin like me and forget about it. Try to guess it.

I don't have anything like that, it's sad to say but I hope there's a tutorial on how to unlock what I said is impossible but I hope you'll give me permission because my friends always read my messages

[@KLP99]

This resolved my issue. Thank you But, please find a better AI voice to read. It's slow and annoying.

[@Hackinginstrument]

not Avaible on iphone, this option secure storage

[@techunow]

On iPhone devices, you can try access it by going to Privacy & Safety, then End-to-End Encrypted Chats, and finally Secure Storage to reset your PIN. If you're still having trouble finding it, I recommend updating your Messenger app to the latest version from the App Store, as that might resolve the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance!

[@Synotak]

Is there a way to make the pin needed when you open the messenger app every time ?

[@techunow]

Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in feature in Messenger that allows you to require a PIN or password every time you open the app. However, you can manually use third-party app locks that offer app-locking functionality to lock your selected apps, and you need to enter a PIN code for the mobile app on your mobile device.

[@AresKerby2004]

Thank you man it works HAHA I really appreciate this video🐻 tang ina salamat

[@miapontevedra1123]

May I ask if you put a pin in your messenger, is it true that the messages from 90 days older will be permanently delete?

[@techunow]

No, creating a PIN in Messenger does not automatically delete messages older than 90 days.

[@garryoribello55]

in realme c25y, the APPLOCK or even the SECURE STORAGE settings does not show any of them. please help!

[@techunow]

I'd recommend updating your Messenger app to the latest version and clearing the cache and data.

[@Dave-mv6bw]

does this hide chats that you have from people who have access to your account?

[@techunow]

Yes, creating a PIN in Messenger and enabling end-to-end encryption helps to hide chats from people who have access to your account, unless they know or have access to your PIN code. It only hides chats, but they can access Messenger accounts. It adds an extra layer of security to your conversations, ensuring that only those with the PIN can access them.

[@Stxrizz]

I already updated my messenger but theres no reset pin showing up

If you've forgotten your PIN code on Messenger, you can follow the same steps to reset it. However, it's important to note that if you're using a secondary device or a new device to reset your PIN, your old end-to-end encrypted chats may not be loaded onto the new device.

[@leonoraponce3147]

What are u ganna click if u dont have reset pin?

[@techunow]

If you're unable to find the reset PIN option, it might be due to a few reasons. First, make sure you're using the latest version of Messenger. If you still can't locate it, try checking under your Messenger settings or looking for any available updates in your app store. If you're still having trouble, reaching out to Messenger support could provide some helpful guidance.

[@SandraEarles]

Doesn't work... Don't have reset pin available..Now what?

[@techunow]

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the reset pin option. It might be worth trying to update your Messenger app to the latest version.

Tried that. Also uninstall and reinstall.. if I've chats since end to end, it deletes those msgs and its back to the end to end date. Some are like a yr missing of info..

how to change/reset pin when pin is forgotten and old phone is lost on android

[@MNRick041]

I keep trying and it doesn't work, says try again.

[@techunow]

If you keep encountering the "try again" message while trying to create a PIN in Messenger, it could be due to a temporary glitch or issue with the app. I suggest trying to update the Messenger app to the latest version available on your device and restarting your device to see if that resolves the issue.

Can it be the same PIN code as my phone?

[@techunow]

No, it's different. The PIN code you set up in Messenger is specifically for the app itself and is used to restore or access old chats on a new device. However, if you prefer, you can use the same PIN code for both Messenger and your phone password.

Creating a PIN in Messenger can add an extra layer of security to your account, especially if you're concerned about unauthorized access. And It's safe to create a PIN.
