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

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.

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

They probably have RAS syndrome

[-] zerofk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Do you think these are personal PIN numbers?

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.

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

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Change your luggage combo too.

[-] Attacker94@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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.

THX-1138 (George Lucas' first movie).

Am surprised it is popular 54 years on.

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

[-] bricklove@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

Heh, 8008 is slightly highlighted

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Love the blip at 7942 XD

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

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

Eg: 1315 or 4676

[-] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

The best internet find today: informationisbeautiful.net !!

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 1 month ago

Except no dates. This chart is soooooo old.

[-] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ClusterBomb 1 points 1 month ago

1312 is the best PIN code tbh.

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago
