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

Godort@lemmy.ca on 01 Jul 15:22 collapse

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

Eg: 1315 or 4676

The row of 20XXs makes me laugh. Looks real bright around 2077, you cyberpunk nuts.

Mozingo@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 15:55 collapse

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.

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

Is your pin automatically updated to reflect inflation?

spizzat2@lemmy.zip on 01 Jul 16:08 next collapse

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

pdxfed@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 16:11 collapse

Change your luggage combo too.

Attacker94@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 18:44 collapse

What’s the combination…

1,2,3,4,5

That’s amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

MagicShel@lemmy.zip on 01 Jul 21:11 next collapse

Bet: 1337, 1138, 6969

THX-1138 (George Lucas’ first movie).

Am surprised it is popular 54 years on.

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

Do you think these are personal PIN numbers?

they might even be personal PIN numbers for identification!

kevincox@lemmy.ml on 01 Jul 18:40 next collapse

I really want to see which ones weren’t leaked. Those are obviously the most secure.

Every news outlet: “Major breach of your pin codes! Click this link.”

Except no dates. This chart is soooooo old.

JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca on 02 Jul 15:07 collapse

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

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com on 02 Jul 16:29 collapse

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

Umm… There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

codfishjoe@lemmy.world on 02 Jul 01:49 next collapse

Generally these breaches happen on the service side rather than the user side. These likely include users even with secure and insecure alike.

sqgl@sh.itjust.works on 02 Jul 01:59 collapse

They were leaked, not guessed.

mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de on 02 Jul 01:16 next collapse

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

1312 is the best PIN code tbh.

Raiderkev@lemmy.world on 02 Jul 12:51 next collapse

Mine is really close to one of the ones on least common. 16 year old me dun good I guess.

fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com on 02 Jul 13:24 next collapse

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: 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.
