Does your ATM PIN start with the number 1? Why you need to change that...


If your ATM PIN starts with 19 - it’s considered easy to guess. 

According to Nick Berry of Data Genetics, every four-digit combination beginning with 19 is in the top 20% of guessable PINs. That’s because anniversary and birth years are commonly used. 2580 is a bad choice too. It may sound random but it’s easy for crooks to guess that lazy, center row choice. Your clever couplet PIN is lame too. Those contain repeats like 4242 or 8787. Here are the top ten weakest ATM PINs:

1234
1111
0000
1212
7777
1004
2000
4444
2222
6969
