When I was setting up my new iPhone(I’m upgrading from an 8 to a 13) I was asked to call a number and provide my phone number and then my account pin. I do not know what my account pin is. Is there any way I can figure out what my account pin is?
Most likely, that request didn't come from Apple, and it sounds like a scam/phishing attempt.
DO NOT respond nor give any personal info to anyone.

P.S. "Account pin" might be your Apple ID password.

No idea about that, since I've never bought an iPhone locked to a carrier, and never saw that kind of message.
Verizon should be able to enlighten you about that "pin".
Regards and best of luck

This is the screen that popped up when I was activating my phone. It wasn’t through a message or email, it was just a step in my activation.
Then you need to call Verizon, as suggested.

Is my account pin then something Verizon related, because the Verizon number is what asked for my account pin.
Thanks you so much it your help. I’ll be sure to call them or ask the person who runs my Verizon account about that.
You are most welcome :)
