A database of of 4 digit passwords is not suitable as a replacement for PINs. Especially not for anything called a fucking analysis. Banks don't let you choose

A database of of 4 digit passwords is not suitable as a replacement for PINs. Especially not for anything called a fucking analysis.
Banks don't let you choose 4 consecutive numbers or 4 of the same number making his first conclusion completely invalid. A lot of banks assign pin numbers now making the rest of his conclusions invalid.
I get wanting to analyze PINs, it's interesting, but pretending any old data that looks similar will work is misleading, disingenuous, and half ass.

In New Zealand, you can choose anything you like on the number terminal they give you. They try to educate you on a good PIN, but it's ultimately up to you.
