What is the most commonly used ATM pin number?

Data condensed from released/exposed/discovered password tables and security breaches reveal that 10.7% use good ol' "1234" 6% go for "1111", 1.9% and 1.1% choose "0000" and "1212" respectively. Time to think again about how well your account details are protected?

Actually...the "N" in PIN represents "number".Therefore it's PIN...not PIN number. It's VIN...not VIN number...it's ATM, not ATM Machine. At least you were halfway right!!

Easy question, but I’m amazed anyone would use those numbers. Or their birthdate, etc.

PIN number: Personal identification number number! SSN number: Social security number number! If you HAVE to say number at least make it: P.I.number.

At gated communities, the address or the first four numbers of address are used by at least one tent. Use new power only for good.

These pins are the worse ones to use, as well as your birth date. Here in NZ they don't allow any of those numbers.

Mark R. Kitchen, So many people who resist learning something. Like all those who think PCV valve is Pollution Control Valve. Do you then another Valve on to it? No, because it stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve.
