How predictable is your chosen PIN number? You’d be surprised!

Here’s why you might want to start choosing a less predictable PIN: informationisbeautiful.net/vis

@protonprivacy Just don't use PINs lol.

Passwords, Passphrases and Passkeys ftw.
The only PIN should be for debit/Credit Cards which are mostly chosen randomly by the bank

(The source is truly beautiful)

Don't most banks allow you to change it.
Mine is my birthday of course! But not my real birthday 😏

@repost @protonprivacy Passwords for phones are impractical and I'm not using biometrics. I use a PIN (more than 4 digits, of course) and set it to factory reset if too many failed attempts are made. It's convenient but secure enough so that it'd still be very difficult to break in.

@kev
There is a source reference directly in the image: datagenetics.com/informationis which is a 404 error though but if your see the link it goes to datagenetics.com/blog/septembe which explains things.

@protonprivacy just choose a longer pin than 4 digits!

@kkarhan @protonprivacy Six digits should be the minimum at this point.
