🔒 Coming up with a strong PIN

Last updated on : 2021-06-11

Instructions

A strong PIN code has the following properties:

1. It should NOT follow a numeric pattern - e.g. 1234, 8888
2. It should NOT follow a layout pattern - e.g. 14789, 75469
3. It should NOT reference anything important in your life, like your birth year or the entry code to the office - e.g. 1985, 1965
4. It should be as long as possible, picking 6 characters instead of 4 when possible - e.g. 392734, 982832
5. If the PIN policy allows it, you should use letters and symbols in addition to numbers - e.g. 28@729, +HD28
