My pin is still 1077. The price of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Pannucci’s.

Oh no! My ATM card! My secret PIN number: 1077.

Bogasse@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y

Is your pin automatically updated to reflect inflation?

lol at this

all 4-digit passwords leaked:

0000 0001 0002 0003 0004...

atticus88th@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

Every news outlet: "Major breach of your pin codes! Click this link."

kevincox@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y

I really want to see which ones weren't leaked. Those are obviously the most secure.

Okay, this didn't make me twitch at all. Nope.

They probably have RAS syndrome

zerofk@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Do you think these are personal PIN numbers?

a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

they might even be personal PIN numbers for identification!

This site needs 3rd-party JS to load a fucking picture.

Star Trek fans.

Species 8472 is under represented.

The row of 20XXs makes me laugh. Looks real bright around 2077, you cyberpunk nuts.

Mozingo@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y

That's the 19xx's the 20xx row is only bright up until about 2010. So it's people born in the 70s using their birthday.

Crap! Someone else is using my PIN. I should change it.

pdxfed@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Change your luggage combo too.

Attacker94@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y (1 reply)

What's the combination...

1,2,3,4,5

That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage.

Came here for this comment. Did not disappoint!

aramis87@fedia.io · 12 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

MagicShel@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Bet: 1337, 1138, 6969

sqgl@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

THX-1138 (George Lucas' first movie).

Am surprised it is popular 54 years on.

a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

neither 0451 nor 4510 are even registering, i'm disappointed.

bricklove@midwest.social · 8 pts · 1y

Heh, 8008 is slightly highlighted

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 1y

Lol at the dot for 1701, looks like there are loads of star trek fans

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com · 8 pts · 1y

Using the same digit 4 times is no longer allowed most places, but this chart shows them being pretty popular.

This chart has no sourcing or date associated. Is it old?

Edit: Yes, it is. Here is the excellent source article: http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/september32012/

So it's from 2012, and used historic breach data from years before then.

In other words, this chart is wholly inacurate now.

I can’t think of an explanation for the periodic grid like clusters. Anyone?

Godort@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 1y

Number pairs where the 1st and 3rd digit match or where the 2nd and 4th digit match.

Eg: 1315 or 4676

Love the blip at 7942 XD

People really just picked the model # of their bank's VOIP phone

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Except no dates. This chart is soooooo old.

JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

And yet, most likely user behaviour hasn’t changed!

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com · 1 pts · 1y

It will have had to. Many of the most common from pre 2012 are not allowed at banks. And no 4 consecutive digits are.

I feel personally attacked.

Umm... There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

sqgl@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 1y

They were leaked, not guessed.

codfishjoe@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Generally these breaches happen on the service side rather than the user side. These likely include users even with secure and insecure alike.

mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

What are they talking about? I always use xxxx :xD

Klear@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y

How can you write hunter2 as a four digit pin?!

Raiderkev@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Mine is really close to one of the ones on least common. 16 year old me dun good I guess.

nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

almost nobody is using my 4 digit drawing of a dick and balls

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

It s a blank page.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y

i have the same one on my luggage

ClusterBomb@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y

1312 is the best PIN code tbh.
