Over at Data Genetics, they did a little PIN Safety study and they found out that there are a lot of dumber-than-posts people out there, because the most popular PIN is 1234. Really you say? Yes, I reply. These days, PINs can be 6 digits, which adds a level of security, unless you choose 123456.
Remember this scene from Space Balls?
Dark Helmet was right, if your PIN is 1234 (or 12345 in this instance) that is the stupidest password in the world.
I enjoy it when accurate statistics blow the whistle on those lazy folks who think their birthday or the like is a good PIN for their security system.
Want the best PIN? I won’t spoil it for you, but a good one is 6835. Check the link above, and you’ll see what might be the best choices (but now that these are known, are they the best anymore? Maybe 1234 is now the best?).
I love some of those PINs. After reading the article, you may want to change your PIN quickly.
It might be fun to ask if you can add another number to your PINs? Of course, going to 12345 as a PIN might not be that good either. Buy Spaceballs the movie too, it’s available on Blu-Ray. If not get the T-Shirt or the Flamethrower!
lololol 1 in 200 people uses the PIN “6969”
Crude, but hilarious too.
