Providing an Oculus pin number

I am trying to purchase an item shown on the Oculus web page.  When method of payment is asked, my reply is Pay Pal.  Then I am asked for an Oculus pin number.  My question is what is an Oculus pin number and how do I obtain one?

Sometimes it takes more than 2 hours and 37 minutes for a community forum to respond to questions.

The pin is the 4 digit code used to block unauthorised people from buying games while using your headset. You have to provide one initially, it shouldn't be asking for one if you haven't set it up.

There's two ways to change the pin:
- In the desktop app go to Settings / Account / Oculus Pin
or

In both cases you need to enter your current password to change the pin.

Is my question so difficult that no one has an answer?

Go to your Oculus desktop app/accounts and you should see where you can add/change a pin number.  I think I got this option to add a pin number when I registered my oculus account and payment method  (paypal).
