Now even if you have one of the least common 4-digit codes, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the country using the same thing.

Another fun number that can be hard to figure out is that 1004 shows up in the top 10. The reason is that in Korean 1004 is a homonym for angel, with both words being 천사 (cheonsa), so it is a very common PIN in Korea.
Things i just learned: - people can choose their own pins? - people can steal your card and use them without a pin?? - just straight up forgot about the concept of credit cards for a bit and got really confused about buying things with money you dont have
@MiljaHahto I mean if a store lets you sign something and basically go "no yeah bro I definitely got this money fr but I am paying on credit and I will not prove to you this is a valid card that i own no but you can trust 💯" they might as well just leave their doors unlocked at night and save everyone the hassle
Some brick and mortar stores, yes. You can use basically any card online or in any restaurant whether or not you have a pin. All you need is the info printed plainly on the card. Like he said, your pin doesn't matter at all anyway. Kinda like how everyone has a "unique" signature, but they dont matter at all, and you can literally sign with an "x".
@eliharper6616 you can do that with a creditcard, but with a debit card (lots of places here don't accept credit cards) you absolutely need a pin when making any kind of significant purchase irl or some form of verification when using them online, like an app that's unlocked with my fingerprint. Which makes so much more sense to me because what if your card gets lost or stolen
The PIN protects the store as well as the bank. Transaction completed with the PIN? You obviously authorized it. You Didn’t authorize it? Well you violated the terms and conditions by not protecting your PIN, so you’re still on the hook anyway.
In Europe your pin is most definitely for the consumers protection, as you can pay without it contactless up to €100 and over that you need to put in your pin. It's also the code you need to verify your card with at an atm for first use to prove it's your card because only YOU should know your pin, and it's randomly generated (you can only change your pin after using the bank's one, and that's only recently for most cards). I work at a bank and I am not even allowed to know or see customer's pin.
There is no €100 limit. There isn't a set limit at cash points either. They're all arbitrarily set by banks or stores or the cash point owner. You can ask your bank to up your ATM limit for you, I had NatWest up mine to £1500, this limit is fine in NW ATMs but other providers have lower limits anyway. Pay by contactless is also arbitrarily set, you are limited by the bank, the store or the payment method you are using, it's the lower of the three. Stores have a "floor limit" and that limits how much can be spent on a card at any one time. They also have an authorisation limit which means that below a certain point they don't even bother ensuring they've contacted the bank about the payment. There's a whole sea of random stuff going on behind the scene and all you've managed to make up is a single limit that you've decided must be true because it's what your mate told you once.
@willb4643 €50 used to be the limit, but now it's up to €100 in the Netherlands, I literally have done a nationally required study and exam about financial laws to work at the bank
Not only are you not allowed to see it, you're unable to access it even if you were allowed. Customer PINs are kept encrypted under HSM keys that are set up to not allow decryption, the only time they ever exist in the clear is for the brief moments when the customer's typing it in.
Unfortunately now that we're all equipped with this chart, yours would actually be easier to narrow down since there's only a handful of uncommon ones. If it were orange, therefore somewhere in-between, it would be harder to narrow down since that pertains to the majority of the chart
I saw too many pins now. I realize I forgot what mine is. Unfortunate. Well, I need a new card soon anyway, cause I moved and my bank has this annoying habit of being one big bank that's actually a bunch of local branches and you have to go to your specific local branch to do some stuff. Its not usually necessary, it still works fine in most cases, but I have some cash I need to deposit and I dont want to need to give I to someone else, just because my card is from the wrong branch 6hrs away and thats the only branch I can deposit stuff at.
Here in Brazil it's usually 6 digits, and for the majority of banks, there are rules preventing the user from using easy passwords, like birth date, repeated numbers, sequential numbers.
In the UK you can no longer sign for cards unless the bank has specifically set it up and that is usually for people who have a specific need. So the pin is to protect people. Contactless payment is the most dangerous, especially after its limit was increased!
Yeah it's surprising just how insecure contactless payments are in the UK. While contactless is the worldwide standard these days, Asian countries have much more secure implementations. You either have an extremely low limit for no-PIN contactless payments or you have to enter your PIN for every single contactless transaction.
@@safiullahqureshi3196 Well the limit is £100 if you try to use it multiple times in a day, especially in a short period of time it will ask for a pin. You can also set your own limit between £5 and £100 in £5 increments, or even turn it off if you want Data from UK Finance revealed that in 2022 there was a total of £726.9 million lost through unauthorized card fraud. Of this, only £34.9 million represented contactless payment fraud, against a total of £231 billion worth of contactless transactions. So well fraud does happen it is not as common as you might think
As such, the contactless protocol is more secure, it's mostly about the limit per transaction as you mention, and how many times it'll work without entering the pin code. When a you enter the pin on a chip card it's not sent to the bank to verify, the card can do that itself, and it's used in contactless to "decrypt" a number of one-time certificates for the next X number of contactless payments. Skimming a chip card without a magnetic strip is rather useless, unless you plan to steal the physical card... because even the terminal only gets to know the last 4 digits of the card number, the rest is encrypted communication between the card and the issuer. And the chip also knows a public key of the issuer, so it will refuse to talk to a fake terminal. And then there's the 3 digit security number which can't be skimmed either. You basically have to take a photo of both sides of the card... that wouldn't be too difficult but the terminal would look odd, unless you fake an entire ATM ... kinda difficult to hide and deny knowledge of 😋 Limit the number of certificates to 10 and the contactless maximum amount to 10€ and the most a pickpocket can ever pull out without a pin can never exceed 100€ It's a calculated risk on the card issuers' side, because it's their insurance that will have to cover any loss a cardholder may face if the card is lost/stolen or if someone sneaks up on you with a wireless terminal. They rarely dispute when a customer claims that their card was stolen... only if it happens too often to the same person. Contactless on mobile moves the responsibility for the security into the phones' security hardware, which is why some older phones won't work with biometrics while using Google wallet... it's if their fingerprint scanner is too easy to fool for instance. And while using the phone for contactless, the phone is communicating with the card issuers' system at the same time as the terminal. So even though there's no amount limit on paying wireless by phone, it's actually quite secure.
@@safiullahqureshi3196 It's pretty easy to cancel a card nowadays. You can either just switch it off on the app or website if you can get on the internet, or you can just call your bank. A lot of people only use their phone for contactless and then you have the added security of the screen locking. It's not ideal but you can definitely stop them spending enough to reach your contactless limit more than once.
You know contactless payments aren't safe cos when Mythbusters wanted to do an episode on if they are or not, they got a big conference phonecall from all the banks who make the contactless cards and they said a firm NO to any episode on how safe it actually is. Think that kinda speaks for itself ya know

As someone with a terrible memory, quick tip for a pin that is harder to guess but easy to remember: base pin codes on four letter words or initials. The digit is the number that letter has in the alphabet (IE, A=1 or A=01, B=2 or B=02, C=3 or C=03, D=4 or D=04, N=14 etc), that way you can have the number mean something to you but not be completely obvious. You might have to play around with the numbers to find something that fits but don't go too obscure or you won't remember it. Just don't tell people that's what you did so they don't start guessing your initials. When I have to get into an old device, I just have to cycle through a few combinations to remember which one I did.

@bobafettjr85 not just the System Shock devs, but any developer making any immersive sim. Since that genre is actually becoming more and more difficult to define, you can actually determine if a game is an immersive sim whether or not the first door is opened with 0451. I'd also argue it was instead Deus Ex 1 that popularized the 0451 thing, not necessarily System Shock.
We have 6 digits here...but...if you have your card info online, some merchants could bypass for your pin, your 2fa from your banking apps, and even your registered TAC for your phone.
I dont think pins are limited to four digits in America either, because I made my pin 5 digits when signing up for my first card. I think 4 is just more common
In the Netherlands it kinda works as protection for the debit card, but you get your pin from the bank themselves. It's just a random number and they take out the obvious ones like 1234 and 2580. You get two separate letters, one with the card and one with the pin sealed behind scratch-off. This way no one can mess with it in postage. Also its impossible to pay without your pin and you're the only one who can access your card. (Holds for contactless payments as well because you have to enable it by confirming with your card and pin, and need to pay by physical card once in a while to check)
Honestly i found the NL banking system lacking for this physical PIn, You need 3 days to receive it, while in other countries you can just log in into your bank and check everything
Cool hotspots: From 0,0 to 31/12 there’s a hotspot, for month than day birthdays, you can even see how near x=30/31 it goes back and forth depending on the month (y-axis) The horizontal line is at y=19, or all 19** Birthday years The diagonal line is all repeating codes
In Canada, 4-digits is default, but you can have longer I have a really long one, lol, it makes me feel better about my accounts security, even if with touchless payment it probably doesn't help all that much from being skimmed. 😂
@@CWorgen5732 I found the original article which was very cool, lots of interesting facts. Nothing that /tells me/ where my pin is, I would have to look and figure it out. My poor little eyes can’t cope with that sort of focus 🤣 but I think I know about the general area
In The U.S., in order to use the Credit Option, you used to have to Provide Photo I.D. and the Cashier had to Compare the Signatures to those of the Back of your Card and Photo I.D. Some Countries still do this, even if entered your PIN.
In the UK your debit card is always debit, your credit card is a seperate card and only works for credit.... You need your pin for either however above £100 (and randomly when using contactless below £100 - technically every time you use the pin it resets a counter to a random number between 1 and iirc 10 that is centre weighted towards 5 ... Every time you touch for contactless it decrements that number... When the number hits 0 you can't use contactless and have to insert and use the pin (exceptions exist like tapping into transit where there is no pin option) )
You can use your swiss pin in the US and other countries too. They just get confused at US restaurants and you have to tell them that you need to type your pin else it gets declined.
You can have more than 4 digits here in Germany as well, depending on the issuing bank. Cards are issued with a 4 digit pin initially, but technically the chip usually allows for more (usually 8 to 10). When you change the PIN at an ATM, the actual limit is determined by what limit has been configured by the bank. I for myself used to have a a seven digit PIN on my cards for several years
Now that you made the video I think people will use those numbers so much more now that actually it won’t work so much to use as a hard to crack number now
Incorrect about the limit. My Canadian bank allows a variable pin length up to 12. The tech is perfectly capable of it but for some reason we all decided 4 pin was enough. Which it isn't.
When I was younger my older brother once got a new card from his bank in the mail here in Germany and I shit you not the new pin he got FROM HIS BANK was 7777
My pin is a reference to a piece of popular media, and no one that I've told it to has understood it, or at least they haven't said anything about it. I think that proves it good enough.
Since back in the day we used to text through those numb pads. Writing down those numbers can mean a word. Like writing down “fast” or “luck” but with the keys where the letters are located.
I’m fairly sure Canada, or at least Ontario, has 6-digit pins. It might just be a couple banks that allow it, like RBC, but they give you the option to either have 4 or 6. I remember when I chose mine though that they told me it might be a headache to have a 6-digit pin in the States, so I just chose the 4-digit cause it’d be easier to remember and wouldn’t be as much of a pain. I also stupidly chose my birthday as my pin, which I’ve recently changed to be basically a random number. Also, with Tap, pins have kinda become useless. For large purchases, yeah, it’ll require a pin, for regular, smaller purchases can go quite a while requiring nothing except the card.
In Canada, some debit cards allow 6 digit pins but very few people use them because then you can’t only use the card at machines in Canada because in other countries, it doesn’t support that pins can be 4 or 6 digits
A lot of pins are probably chosen by people based on the pattern it makes on the number pad. Instead of remembering the numbers they remember it makes a line or an "L" or a "C" or something like that.

You have statistically elevated the number of people using those low use pins because you've suggested them.
That's positing an unquantifiable variable as statistically relevant. You'd have to determine the amount of people that watch this Short and the exact percent range of people who'd care enough to think about changing a core password they're comfortable with. I've had the same PIN for 25 years and I found the video, like all others from this channel, fatuous soft entertainment made with barely worth repeating trivia.

Things i just learned:
- people can choose their own pins?
- people can steal your card and use them without a pin??
- just straight up forgot about the concept of credit cards for a bit and got really confused about buying things with money you dont have
Well, even when using credit, I need to use the pin...
Here shops would carry the risk if they allowed a customer to just sign, so they don't.
@MiljaHahto I mean if a store lets you sign something and basically go "no yeah bro I definitely got this money fr but I am paying on credit and I will not prove to you this is a valid card that i own no but you can trust 💯" they might as well just leave their doors unlocked at night and save everyone the hassle
Some brick and mortar stores, yes. You can use basically any card online or in any restaurant whether or not you have a pin. All you need is the info printed plainly on the card.
Like he said, your pin doesn't matter at all anyway. Kinda like how everyone has a "unique" signature, but they dont matter at all, and you can literally sign with an "x".
@eliharper6616 you can do that with a creditcard, but with a debit card (lots of places here don't accept credit cards) you absolutely need a pin when making any kind of significant purchase irl or some form of verification when using them online, like an app that's unlocked with my fingerprint. Which makes so much more sense to me because what if your card gets lost or stolen
The PIN protects the store as well as the bank. Transaction completed with the PIN? You obviously authorized it. You Didn’t authorize it? Well you violated the terms and conditions by not protecting your PIN, so you’re still on the hook anyway.

@fabientouboul1115 so true, Swiss Patriotism rising with this one 😅
Ah yes, your Personal Identification Number number
Ah yes, Detective Comics Comics (DC Comics).
In Europe your pin is most definitely for the consumers protection, as you can pay without it contactless up to €100 and over that you need to put in your pin. It's also the code you need to verify your card with at an atm for first use to prove it's your card because only YOU should know your pin, and it's randomly generated (you can only change your pin after using the bank's one, and that's only recently for most cards). I work at a bank and I am not even allowed to know or see customer's pin.
There is no €100 limit. There isn't a set limit at cash points either. They're all arbitrarily set by banks or stores or the cash point owner. You can ask your bank to up your ATM limit for you, I had NatWest up mine to £1500, this limit is fine in NW ATMs but other providers have lower limits anyway. Pay by contactless is also arbitrarily set, you are limited by the bank, the store or the payment method you are using, it's the lower of the three. Stores have a "floor limit" and that limits how much can be spent on a card at any one time. They also have an authorisation limit which means that below a certain point they don't even bother ensuring they've contacted the bank about the payment. There's a whole sea of random stuff going on behind the scene and all you've managed to make up is a single limit that you've decided must be true because it's what your mate told you once.
@willb4643 €50 used to be the limit, but now it's up to €100 in the Netherlands, I literally have done a nationally required study and exam about financial laws to work at the bank
In Russia, it's only 1000 rubles, before requiring PIN-code, which is around 10 US dollars.
????????
Not only are you not allowed to see it, you're unable to access it even if you were allowed. Customer PINs are kept encrypted under HSM keys that are set up to not allow decryption, the only time they ever exist in the clear is for the brief moments when the customer's typing it in.
@@willb4643 youre no longer in europe my guy..

I'm happy to see my pin is the darkest shade possible.
Unfortunately now that we're all equipped with this chart, yours would actually be easier to narrow down since there's only a handful of uncommon ones. If it were orange, therefore somewhere in-between, it would be harder to narrow down since that pertains to the majority of the chart
I saw too many pins now. I realize I forgot what mine is. Unfortunate. Well, I need a new card soon anyway, cause I moved and my bank has this annoying habit of being one big bank that's actually a bunch of local branches and you have to go to your specific local branch to do some stuff. Its not usually necessary, it still works fine in most cases, but I have some cash I need to deposit and I dont want to need to give I to someone else, just because my card is from the wrong branch 6hrs away and thats the only branch I can deposit stuff at.

I'm not the only one who went looking for their pin in that graph, right?
Here in Brazil it's usually 6 digits, and for the majority of banks, there are rules preventing the user from using easy passwords, like birth date, repeated numbers, sequential numbers.
in my experience credit card pins are usually 4 digits long. some are 6 digits like banco do brasil but I guess most are 4
By not allowing certain combinations, the banks make the pin actually less secure.
Here in the USA we can however many is allowed by bank software. Mine is 8 digits.
In the UK you can no longer sign for cards unless the bank has specifically set it up and that is usually for people who have a specific need. So the pin is to protect people.
Contactless payment is the most dangerous, especially after its limit was increased!
Yeah it's surprising just how insecure contactless payments are in the UK. While contactless is the worldwide standard these days, Asian countries have much more secure implementations. You either have an extremely low limit for no-PIN contactless payments or you have to enter your PIN for every single contactless transaction.
@@safiullahqureshi3196 Well the limit is £100 if you try to use it multiple times in a day, especially in a short period of time it will ask for a pin. You can also set your own limit between £5 and £100 in £5 increments, or even turn it off if you want
Data from UK Finance revealed that in 2022 there was a total of £726.9 million lost through unauthorized card fraud. Of this, only £34.9 million represented contactless payment fraud, against a total of £231 billion worth of contactless transactions. So well fraud does happen it is not as common as you might think
As such, the contactless protocol is more secure, it's mostly about the limit per transaction as you mention, and how many times it'll work without entering the pin code.
When a you enter the pin on a chip card it's not sent to the bank to verify, the card can do that itself, and it's used in contactless to "decrypt" a number of one-time certificates for the next X number of contactless payments.
Skimming a chip card without a magnetic strip is rather useless, unless you plan to steal the physical card... because even the terminal only gets to know the last 4 digits of the card number, the rest is encrypted communication between the card and the issuer. And the chip also knows a public key of the issuer, so it will refuse to talk to a fake terminal.
And then there's the 3 digit security number which can't be skimmed either. You basically have to take a photo of both sides of the card... that wouldn't be too difficult but the terminal would look odd, unless you fake an entire ATM ... kinda difficult to hide and deny knowledge of 😋
Limit the number of certificates to 10 and the contactless maximum amount to 10€ and the most a pickpocket can ever pull out without a pin can never exceed 100€
It's a calculated risk on the card issuers' side, because it's their insurance that will have to cover any loss a cardholder may face if the card is lost/stolen or if someone sneaks up on you with a wireless terminal. They rarely dispute when a customer claims that their card was stolen... only if it happens too often to the same person.
Contactless on mobile moves the responsibility for the security into the phones' security hardware, which is why some older phones won't work with biometrics while using Google wallet... it's if their fingerprint scanner is too easy to fool for instance. And while using the phone for contactless, the phone is communicating with the card issuers' system at the same time as the terminal. So even though there's no amount limit on paying wireless by phone, it's actually quite secure.
@@safiullahqureshi3196
It's pretty easy to cancel a card nowadays. You can either just switch it off on the app or website if you can get on the internet, or you can just call your bank. A lot of people only use their phone for contactless and then you have the added security of the screen locking. It's not ideal but you can definitely stop them spending enough to reach your contactless limit more than once.
You know contactless payments aren't safe cos when Mythbusters wanted to do an episode on if they are or not, they got a big conference phonecall from all the banks who make the contactless cards and they said a firm NO to any episode on how safe it actually is. Think that kinda speaks for itself ya know
As someone with a terrible memory, quick tip for a pin that is harder to guess but easy to remember: base pin codes on four letter words or initials. The digit is the number that letter has in the alphabet (IE, A=1 or A=01, B=2 or B=02, C=3 or C=03, D=4 or D=04, N=14 etc), that way you can have the number mean something to you but not be completely obvious. You might have to play around with the numbers to find something that fits but don't go too obscure or you won't remember it. Just don't tell people that's what you did so they don't start guessing your initials. When I have to get into an old device, I just have to cycle through a few combinations to remember which one I did.

“This is my debit card number”

I dont think pins are limited to four digits in America either, because I made my pin 5 digits when signing up for my first card. I think 4 is just more common
I'm in america and I just chose to make my pin 6 numbers instead of 4. I wasn't forced to stick to 4. I think this is a common misconception.
In the Netherlands it kinda works as protection for the debit card, but you get your pin from the bank themselves. It's just a random number and they take out the obvious ones like 1234 and 2580. You get two separate letters, one with the card and one with the pin sealed behind scratch-off. This way no one can mess with it in postage. Also its impossible to pay without your pin and you're the only one who can access your card. (Holds for contactless payments as well because you have to enable it by confirming with your card and pin, and need to pay by physical card once in a while to check)
This is how it works in the UK too, at least with the banks I’m with. Is it super different in the US?
Same in Germany, but you can change the pin and make it 6 numbers if you want to
in south america that’s the system too! im amazed how they just choose the PIN themselves
Do they really scrap obvious ones? My dad used to van 1000 as pin

In The U.S., in order to use the Credit Option, you used to have to Provide Photo I.D. and the Cashier had to Compare the Signatures to those of the Back of your Card and Photo I.D.
Some Countries still do this, even if entered your PIN.
In the UK your debit card is always debit, your credit card is a seperate card and only works for credit....
You need your pin for either however above £100 (and randomly when using contactless below £100 - technically every time you use the pin it resets a counter to a random number between 1 and iirc 10 that is centre weighted towards 5 ... Every time you touch for contactless it decrements that number... When the number hits 0 you can't use contactless and have to insert and use the pin (exceptions exist like tapping into transit where there is no pin option)
)
Unless you're making a MASSIVE purchase. For day to day stuff, like groceries, you can usually just hit credit anywyas
Most places in the us dont do that
So i changed my PIN years ago to a 4 number, so i can use it not only in Switzerland
You can use your swiss pin in the US and other countries too. They just get confused at US restaurants and you have to tell them that you need to type your pin else it gets declined.
You can have more than 4 digits here in Germany as well, depending on the issuing bank. Cards are issued with a 4 digit pin initially, but technically the chip usually allows for more (usually 8 to 10). When you change the PIN at an ATM, the actual limit is determined by what limit has been configured by the bank. I for myself used to have a a seven digit PIN on my cards for several years
Now that you made the video I think people will use those numbers so much more now that actually it won’t work so much to use as a hard to crack number now

My pin is a reference to a piece of popular media, and no one that I've told it to has understood it, or at least they haven't said anything about it. I think that proves it good enough.
Since back in the day we used to text through those numb pads. Writing down those numbers can mean a word.
Like writing down “fast” or “luck” but with the keys where the letters are located.
I’m fairly sure Canada, or at least Ontario, has 6-digit pins. It might just be a couple banks that allow it, like RBC, but they give you the option to either have 4 or 6. I remember when I chose mine though that they told me it might be a headache to have a 6-digit pin in the States, so I just chose the 4-digit cause it’d be easier to remember and wouldn’t be as much of a pain. I also stupidly chose my birthday as my pin, which I’ve recently changed to be basically a random number.
Also, with Tap, pins have kinda become useless. For large purchases, yeah, it’ll require a pin, for regular, smaller purchases can go quite a while requiring nothing except the card.
