Interesting. If you chose a pin for your card that was the result of modulo arithmetic with some part of the card number (last four digits, for example, but perhaps something more obscure), you would have to write on the card at all.
- barking 14y agoThat's a very clever suggestion. The only thing is that if you're going to pick the pin you might as well use the secret one.
