Interestingly, I've never received a default bank pin in Ireland that wouldn't have 2 repeated digits in it. I have a theory they do this to make pins easier to memorise.
- sitharus 14y agoLast time I signed up to a new bank there was a box on the paper form for your pin number, which was then typed in a clear text field by the staff member setting up my accounts. I stuck with my old bank who used a secure entry keypad so I could set my pin.
- JamesBlair 14y agoWhich bank are you with? One of the few things that annoyed me about NBNZ was the utter lack of security with setting the pin and online banking password.
- sitharus 14y agoNBNZ, but given that I haven't set a PIN for at least 10 years they may have changed the process. Same for online banking. When I last did it the PIN was a secure keypad, and online banking required them to send a letter and then authenticate in branch. Photo ID was required for both steps.
