1234!? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
I moved to Switzerland, and, well, PIN codes for credit cards are 6 digits here by default. And now I'm asking myself why noone else does this. I don't see hordes of Swiss people complaining about being unable to remember a 6-digit PIN at least.
61 pins are used by 1/3rd of all people. So statistically, if I steal 61 debit cards, assuming I have 3 tries, and assuming people choose their own pin, I should be able to get cash off one in expectation.
I think the least common PIN codes are fascinating. I'm surprised by the number of 7s in these. They looks like numbers you would end up with if you asked someone to think of a random 4 digit number. List transcribed by ChatGPT: 8557, 8438, 9539, 7063, 6827, 0859, 6793, 0738, 6835, 8093, 9047, 0439, 8196, 6693, 7394, 9480, 8398, 7637, 9629, 8068.
My sister had a key lock box at home that she didn't know the code for. I had a look on YouTube and sure enough there was an easy way to pick the lock. The resulting code - 01234
Use a CSTRNG and as long of a PIN as possible to prevent rampant spending. ;@)

1-2-3-4, that's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!
I was glad to see those plotted out. I was also initially surprised that not a single 19xx pin made the top 20, but I suppose it makes sense considering that there are 100 different combinations of this code.
