  1 is for mommy, 2 is for daddy, 3 is for big sister, big brother has a secret number, 5 is for grandparents, etc. Security through obscurity doesn't work.

    It really depends on your threat model, and can definitely be of benefit when complementing other good security practices.

    And locks are only for keeping honest people honest. That's why we build defense in layers. The obscurity layer is extraordinarily effective for the effort it requires. It also keeps log files clean!

    It's not remotely security or intended to be. Not everything needs to be locked down. Just because it's a number doesn't mean it's a PIN.
