You can see that 19xx line continue at 20xx too
Why is 1701 circled?
NCC-1701 is the ship designator of the Enterprise from Star Trek
Now imagine if you could use FIVE digits for something as important as a bank account.
My bank just gave me a random PIN number. Choosing my own was not an option.
I’d forget that so hard.
I used to be able to memorize random sequences of numbers when I was young, but my brain doesn’t do that tedious shit any more.
Password manager is the way. It’s recommended for all password related things anyway.
And good ones like bitwarden or keepass, not bad ones that get hacked almost yearly like lastpass
The fact that every 4-digit pin is in this picture shows quite well how these are pretty easy to crack.
Idk why you would be cracking a PIN code. They aren’t really typically used for online security (and shouldn’t be). And if your attacker is targeting you, the PIN code isn’t meant to stop them.
What it does stop is you finding a random card on the side of the street and finding the nearest ATM to withdraw all of the cash from.
which will lock the card after 3 tries, so even if you are using your birth year chances are they are not going to guess it
