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??
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
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.
@@techunow I never had a end to end set up at all I don't get why my phone is just taking random chats and backing them up
Samee i dont have put any pin but they shows and keeps telling me
Same here I dont remember putting any pin in messenger
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.
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????
THANK YOU! :D I knew how to change passwords! But not the messanger codes.
i don't see reset pin
That's a great help. Thank you!
omg man thank you so much i spent like 2 hours trying to remember my pin and i just found out you can reset the pin lol
Ive tried multiple times over a 2 day period, I enter my pin twice and then the blue circle spins for a minute then it says somethiing went wrong, try again. It wont let me access messenger without doing this but Im unable to do it because it just keeps telling me to try again.
Most appreciative. Thx!
You can't enable secure storage without a pin code it seems. So FB messed up again.
I did put it,But I want it to ask me to write the PIN before using messenger.Because it doesn't.Also somebody else has logged intk my messeger account and has sent bad words to my friends.So I need to out that pin.Like I want you to tell me a way to make the pin needed every time I open the app,Because I told you someone Has logged into my account.
Thank you so much sir ❤❤
This was absolutely the help that I needed! Thank you!
I'm so glad it helped! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions about Messenger.
This should have been Just as Long as it wouldve taken me to do this.
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
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.
@@techunow if I use my computer ( not original device) will I be able to login from there and reset or input the pin from there? Or am I doomed
@@techunow also say that I did put a pin but I forgot it. The secure encryption is off. So I can't reset or change it. What do I even do?
@@chriskatselis1338i had the same problem as you
@@chriskatselis1338I also thought messanger set the pin by it self, and for 4 hours I tried everything possible (go to the computer, go to settings on mobile) but it didnt work. 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.
Brilliant!!! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
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
I did the same, because he asked me to. some chats are locked, how do I turn this off?
Does it work if an account was saved on the laptop and you reset the pin using the laptop?
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
I already updated my messenger but theres no reset pin showing up
I think this feature may not be available on your devices or accounts yet.
I don't have the message storage option to click.. I've already reinstalled a bunch of times and there's still none. Idk what to do now, my other devices won't update my messages to the latest ones.
why mine is no reset pin😞
what if i forgot my pin, what if my device is lost or broken, how can i reset it?
I don't have option like "reset pin"
What if i forgot my pin and there's no other device that has secure storage enabled??
I would like to know this as well. I am having the same issue.
not Avaible on iphone, this option secure storage
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!
in realme c25y, the APPLOCK or even the SECURE STORAGE settings does not show any of them. please help!
I'd recommend updating your Messenger app to the latest version and clearing the cache and data.
Thank you!
I have you many times to input the default pin but not working. My real password also not working
Thank you
You're welcome! Now you can chat with more peace of mind. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more Messenger tips!

Thank you man it works HAHA I really appreciate this video🐻 tang ina salamat
I only have ligins and secuty alert what should I do
Is there a way to make the pin needed when you open the messenger app every time ?
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.
I don't see any horizontal lines in the top right. I clicked on the ones on the top left, but don't see any "settings". I am SOOOOO over this PIN BS!!!!
But you need the pin to secure the storage??? If u dont have the option to reset pin... Im lost
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?
No, creating a PIN in Messenger does not automatically delete messages older than 90 days.
I just reset my data on settings on messenger now i cant synch my messenger. fk this new update its so garbage man im done

does this hide chats that you have from people who have access to your account?
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.
How do I put a password on my "personal account on messenger"

i cant enable it since its asking about the pin code that im trying to reset (i dont remembe it) and the one time thingy is not sending the code or i dont know where its sending it plz help

I just sacrificed the old messages and made a new pin code
No solution for now as for me
THANKK YOUU BROOO
I forgott my pin now what can i doo to read old chatss?? please help meee
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.
@@techunow if i create new account i have to face end to end encryption or not?
Can you tell me please
Is this for cheating? Asking for a friend.... cause it looks like only 1 person has a pin on his messenger!?
Ok, i keep on clicking on the Turn Storage ON button....and send me back to the put your pin in page...this is so stupdi.
to the person who doesn't have an access to reset the pin, just delete the storage and u can reset another pin or what do you want to choose from the prompt.
Will it also delete other messeges if I delete the storage?
how to change/reset pin when pin is forgotten and old phone is lost on android
Doesn't work... Don't have reset pin available..Now what?
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..
I keep trying and it doesn't work, says try again.
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.
How does it works .?I created already a pin but I can still access my messages on messenger no prompt or entering the pin
facebook became a joke lately , stupid security steps that won't help , and when they send you a code , they say its wrong and when you try again it blocks your account as. a threat 😱
Where do they send the temporary pin
What are u ganna click if u dont have reset pin?
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.
But how to reset if you forgot your pincode? I dont know what to do?
Please watch the video carefully; the process to reset is the same.
what about if am using laptop?
Currently, you are not able to create a new PIN using a laptop. You need to create the PIN using the mobile app and then you can use it on your laptop.
I only have 1 phone..
Can it be the same PIN code as my phone?
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.
@@techunow , thank you! I came up with a different PIN numbers as my phone. I marked down my FB messenger on my note apps so I won’t lose track of it
Mine does not give me the option to reset pin
same
i can't turn on storage because it'll ask for my pin number which I forgot.
If you've forgotten your PIN number, please watch full video to reset it.
how do you remove it?
I don't have the option to reset my pin
If you don't see the option to reset your PIN, make sure you're using the latest version of the Messenger app. If the option still doesn't appear, try restarting the app or your device. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Facebook support for further assistance.
Does creating a pin is safe or is it better not to?
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.
😢😢I forgot my password. What should I do?😢
If you forgot your password, don't worry! You can reset it using the original device from where you created it.
😢❤How do you do it? Can you please make a teaching clip? I'm already following you.@@techunow
Please watch this video fully, this video shows you how to reset or create PIN code in messenger
on selected android version only 🤣
They're gradually introducing it to iOS users as well. If you don't see it yet! It should be available for everyone soon. 😊
It says try again 😡😡😡😡😡😡
No option to reset pin lol
Bakit po walang pin saakin? 😢
If you don't see the option to create or reset a PIN in Messenger, it could be due to not having the latest version of the app. Try updating Messenger to the latest version from your app store, and then check again for the PIN option.

How to do on iphone?
The steps are similar on the iPhone also.
Go to your messenger profile > Privacy & safety > End-to-end encrypted chats > Secure storage > Reset PIN
How to remove it?
Are you asking about removing the PIN code from Facebook Messenger or do you want to remove end-to-end encryption from Messenger? @@AlbertJohnRespicio
@@techunowyes is there any way to remove it cuz i reseted my phone and forgot the pin so i cant possibly reset it since u said i have to reset it from created phone reset is simply mew phone right any suggestions?
You can reset the PIN even if you've forgotten it by resetting it with a new device. However, please note that resetting the PIN won't retrieve old chats that are end-to-end encrypted. @@damaxtit
