I beg to differ about 4 repeating numbers. I have such a number, allocated by a bank. As I see it nobody is ever going to guess my pin because they would assume it was blacklisted. I also get to do a different dance entering in the pin in public places because I have to pretend I am typing anything other than just the same number, at places where security is not a problem I can breeze through entering my pin nice and quickly. I have not felt the urge to request a change of pin from 'one number' to four.

It all depends on country and bank. They are more often blacklisted than not. Funny, how you have to dance around entering your pin. I can enter my 4 different digits so fast with almost the same intervals that it seems like I am entering 4 same digits. Unfortunately many pins are stolen by skimming, they sometimes place a whole cover over the ATM. Not taking function away but just copying all cards and filming all codes being entered or having an overlay on the keys.

> As I see it nobody is ever going to guess my pin because they would assume it was blacklisted. Why wouldn't they? It's just a quick ten numbers to check. 4444 is going to be more common than any one other completely-random selection, like 8064, for the same reason that people choose "password" as a password.
