Q: required passcode change

Today I got a message window requiring a passcode change on my iPhone 6 iOS 9.3.4.

 

I had Passcode text bar and a "continue' button lower right and an "emergency" button lower left. 

Wifi was OFF but data (AT&T LTE) had 4 bars.

 

It would not accept my usual Passcode. I powered my iPhone OFF, waited, and turn it back on. Immediately I got the Required Passcode Change message window again. I have never been required to change my passcode before and this is the 4th iPhone I've owned.

 

I did not change my passcode because this seemed suspicious to me.

 

Am I just being paranoid?
