Is secondary password (e.g.: pin) necessary?



I find some cases (especially in online games) that a software or website asks users to enter an additional password, such as 4 or 6 digit pin numbers, in addition to their original password. Most of the cases, pin is prompted immediately after users successfully logs in with their username and password.


Is this really necessary?

Does an additional password makes the site or software more secure?

In what scenarios that it is needed to use an additional password?
