PIN Length

PIN Security, Explained

PINs are short, so every digit counts. Leaked PIN databases show the same handful of codes — 1234, 0000, 1111 — used constantly, making them trivial to guess. A random PIN with no sequence or repetition removes that risk entirely.

FAQ

What's a safe PIN length?

6 digits is now the common recommendation (it's the default on most modern phones). 4 digits is still standard for bank cards, and 8 digits is a stronger option where it's supported.

Why avoid sequential or repeated digits?

PINs like 1234, 0000, or 1111 are among the first guesses in any brute-force attempt, since they're extremely common. Avoiding predictable patterns removes your PIN from that easy-to-guess list.

Is 1234 a common PIN?

Yes — studies of leaked PIN databases consistently show 1234, 0000, and 1111 among the most-used PINs, making them some of the least secure choices possible.
