My pin is still 1077. The price of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Pannucci’s.
Thanks a billion!
Meh. He only had $23.50 in his account.
Is your pin automatically updated to reflect inflation?
Oh no! My ATM card! My secret PIN number: 1077.
Star Trek fans.
NCC-1701
Species 8472 is under represented.
lol at this
all 4-digit passwords leaked:
0000 0001 0002 0003 0004...
Every news outlet: "Major breach of your pin codes! Click this link."
I really want to see which ones weren't leaked. Those are obviously the most secure.
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.

Okay, this didn't make me twitch at all. Nope.
Do you think these are personal PIN numbers?
they might even be personal PIN numbers for identification!
Crap! Someone else is using my PIN. I should change it.
Change your luggage combo too.
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!
The row of 20XXs makes me laugh. Looks real bright around 2077, you cyberpunk nuts.
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.
Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.
Bet: 1337, 1138, 6969
THX-1138 (George Lucas' first movie).
Am surprised it is popular 54 years on.
neither 0451 nor 4510 are even registering, i'm disappointed.
almost nobody is using my 4 digit drawing of a dick and balls
Mine is really close to one of the ones on least common. 16 year old me dun good I guess.
Lol at the dot for 1701, looks like there are loads of star trek fans
Mine is 8647
I use 0451, for those who know!
🔥
Heh, 8008 is slightly highlighted
What are they talking about? I always use xxxx :xD
How can you write hunter2 as a four digit pin?!
I can’t think of an explanation for the periodic grid like clusters. Anyone?
Number pairs where the 1st and 3rd digit match or where the 2nd and 4th digit match.
Eg: 1315 or 4676

I feel personally attacked.
The best internet find today: informationisbeautiful.net !!
Except no dates. This chart is soooooo old.
And yet, most likely user behaviour hasn’t changed!
It will have had to. Many of the most common from pre 2012 are not allowed at banks. And no 4 consecutive digits are.
1312 is the best PIN code tbh.
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.
They were leaked, not guessed.
Generally these breaches happen on the service side rather than the user side. These likely include users even with secure and insecure alike.
It s a blank page.
i have the same one on my luggage
