Why is my phone asking for a android system pin?

[Android Central Question]

I was using a app for the first time, but when I tried to open my gallary with it, it started asking for my android system pin. I had never set up a system pin before. When I pressed the forgot password button it asked me my father's name and when I told it it told me that I was wrong. Someone please help.

What app, and installed from where? What device? https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/409154-join-android-central-community.html

I don't recall having ever gotten a 'what's your father's name' security question. Seems fishy. Good luck

That's completely sketchy. I'd delete that app immediately. I'd also consider wiping/restoring the phone. Maybe I'm a total paranoid but that sounds like some kind of spyware/hacking installation.
