A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My pin is also a pattern, recently I paid at a restaurant, and they had a card unit with a touch screen, I suppose for fingerprint reasons; the numbers on the pad were randomised.. took me quite a while to remember what my pin number was in tge end

Oooof! Yeah, I don't think I could cope with that.

Don't come to Korea. Every banking transaction requires you to punch in your PIN at least twice with a randomized numpad. Well actually it's a 4x3 numpad with 2 spaces randomly inserted into it.

What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
