Why am I being asked for an old passcode to update apple id settings

I have a notification that I need to update Apple ID Settings. Upon trying to do so, I'm asked for my password then I'm asked to enter my old passcode which apparently is 6 digits. I'm not sure what this passcode is and I've never been asked to enter this.


iPhone 13, iOS 16
