    How muchthought have you put into selecting your PIN? If you’ve not put any thoughtinto your PIN, then it’s likely the case that you’ve picked a number that’seasy to remember or even one that’s associated with something personal.

    Fact:Taking time to pick random and hard-to-remember numbers greatly improves PIN success…

    However,a common PIN number is no match for an observant and logical competitor. Tohelp you pick out a strong PIN, be sure to avoid these common PIN-falls.

    Do NotPick a PIN Based Off of These Easy-to-Figure-Out Numbers

    • Your Medicare Number:
    • Your Phone Number: An even worse idea is to base your PIN off of your phone number. This is public information and can often be found with a simple Google search. You might as well not even have a PIN if you go this route.
    • A Significant Year of Your Life: Most PINs are four digits, so too is every year that you’ve been alive. Don’t make a PIN number based off of a year, especially a significant year of your life, like when you were born, graduated high school, or got married.
    • 1234: This and other logical sequences of numbers are the most commonly chosen PINs.

    • A More Obscure Date in History:
    • The Current Time: Quick, what time is it right now? There’s a four digit number for you to use right there in front of you, and any PIN associated with time is more secure than the examples listed above.
    • The Month/Date of Your Favourite Holiday:
    • Just Mash Some Numbers on Your Keyboard: Random PINs are the most secure. Therefore, it might be in your best interest to toss out the idea of picking an easy-to-remember number and instead, just biting the bullet and memorizing some randomly-selected numbers.
