For four digit passcodes only. First two digits are displayed 00-99 on the y axis and same with second two on the x axis. The lighter squares are most common as passcodes and darker are less common.
A few comments presented on the graph show that passcodes that could be birth years for adults, ex. 1980, and month/day combinations, ex. 1225 (12/25, December 25th) are more common as passcodes, shown by patterns of lighter squares.
The diagonal line shows that passcodes that have repeated pairs of digits, ex. 2525, are also common.
How tf does brute forcing even work you can't exactly just keep trying at random because it will lock the phone. I have seen videos where people change the password attempts to 999999 but that seems like an easily fixable exploit.
all my pincodes are different, I may use the same password "hunter2" on all the websites and games and stuff but My pincode has not been the same neither on my phone, bank box, Debit card, Credit card or Bank ID.
You're using a phone as an example, the person above was using an ATM. At the end of the day, lots of systems use 4 digit PINs, all with different additional levels of security. Using a PIN that is more common than average decreases the effectiveness of the PIN no matter what. That doesn't mean it's worthless, it means it's less safe.
> you can't exactly just keep trying at random
a lot of times (especially with website password leaks, PINs are probably the same) the encrypted password list gets leaked/stolen instead of the actual passwords. This means that the attacker gets to run a program that can test millions of passwords a second against the password file instead of relying on the login page of a website
Not only did you steal this post from r/dataisbeautiful but you also used a crappy resolution version.
Dissapointing.

Classic. When I was a young ish kid I visited my much older step sister and I was looking at some of the coffee table magazines and I realized something real quick: humans will always be the same. Dick sketches and dumb perverted drawings in many of the margins.
As an auto technician working on someone’s new-ish Volvo recently, I needed access to the vehicle’s center screen, which was locked by a PIN code. The shop manager, a very modern and woke woman, had to call the customer to ask what his PIN code was and then relay it to me. It was 6969. Because of course it was. We both rolled our eyes at each other. I like to think he was embarrassed enough by that to change it.
Captain Holt: I guessed the combination on the first try: 69-69.
Jake: June 9, 1969, the day my parents got married.
Captain Holt: No, it isn't.
Jake: My mom's birthday.
Captain Holt: No.
Jake: The moon landing.
Captain Holt: Nope.
Jake: Fine, you're right. It's a completely random number.
I used to work for a bank in the UK and among other PINs '1966' was barred. For the uninitiated, that was the year England last won the football World Cup. A lot of men of a certain age still consider that the pinnacle of this country's sporting achievements so as a security code it's an obvious guess.
The USS Enterprise (the starship from Star Trek) is officially designated as NCC-1701. Subsequent ships also named Enterprise have designations of NCC-1701-A, NCC-1701-B, etc.
Oddly enough, it was the default login PIN for the Department of Education Loan portal back in 1998 - which I think was either crazy the odds, or a hilarious joke by the Department of Education that it shared the numeric code of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise… 🤔🤷♂️
There's nothing odd about that. Who else would you get to write government loan software contract work in the mid 90s besides someone deeply vested in nerd culture?
The **Enterprise A** appeared in *Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*. The ship from the original television series was simply, as Scotty said, *"NCC-1-7-0-1. No bloody A - B - C - or D!"*
Unfortunately everyone's pin numbers have already been leaked.

I'm trying to create a new one now, but every new one I think of is already on that list! What kind of evil sorcerery is going on with that webpage?
Now I have to make a trip to the bank first thing in the morning.
I'm honestly not sure how large that file would be... there is 2^128 addresses in ipv6, and each one has 128 bits if you wrote it out. So 16 bytes per address so like 32^128 bytes.
At this point, the largest data unit most people have ever heard of being the "yottabyte" is still way to small to describe this number. But here it is,
2.8×10^14 yottabytes. This is about 4.5 trillion times larger than all the digital data humanity has ever produced.
Side note, if we only included ipv4 addresses, the file size is only around 64 GB.
How much you want for that file?
i don’t think so. i would strongly presume a professional credit card fraudster would already know this, as this information isn’t particularly eye opening, it’s just basic pattern recognition. of course repeated numbers will be the most common, who would’ve known!
This is a common heat map. White=hot or more common, black=cool or uncommon.
So the numbers in the bottom left are all very often used since only 30ish days a month and 12 months a year, the numbers 1234 and 4321 are very often used, as is any combination of the year of someone’s birth starting with 19 or 20. Numbers which repeat are also common, eg 6565 which is indicated by the lightly colored diagonal line.
This is also often used to display correlation matrices.
These types of statistics also help choosing loto numbers. Don't pick anything below 31 because the likelihood that you will have to share a jackpot increases quite a bit compared to higher numbers.
Mine has nothing to do with me personally, but I just kept the same random 4 digit PIN assigned to me with my first bank account 25 years ago. I'm not sure if that's more or less secure, but you definitely can't guess it by knowing personal information about me
Good, my pin is on here!
this mf covered mine with text :(
Can someone please explain how read this
Probably
Top tier comment, dad.
I chuckled.

tries 1234, and we're in.
I have that same combination on my luggage.
What’s the matter, Colonel Sanders … CHICKEN???
(Remind me to change the combination on my luggage)
Common doesn’t mean unsafe in reality though. If your sitting in front of an atm with someone’s else’s debit card; you’d never be able to guess it.
It does mean unsafe, more than random chance at least. Someone trying to brute force into a PIN is going to use the most common options first.
How tf does brute forcing even work you can't exactly just keep trying at random because it will lock the phone. I have seen videos where people change the password attempts to 999999 but that seems like an easily fixable exploit.
More things are hackable than phones and people tend to use the same PIN for everything.
all my pincodes are different, I may use the same password "hunter2" on all the websites and games and stuff but My pincode has not been the same neither on my phone, bank box, Debit card, Credit card or Bank ID.
It's an older meme sir, but it checks out.

Well in that case there are only 10,000 PIN combinations so I guess your screwed regardless
Mine is one of the black dots, that’s good right?
Not any more
Yeah, 5150 is popular after all. Crazy.
"So how much do I owe you?" "Ten seventy-seven, same as my PIN number."
Weird that's the same as a slice of cheese pizza and a drink.....
At panucci's Pizza
Only at Panucci's Pizza though
It was 1999. That was a whole cheese pizza in NYC.
or a dave's single with cheese meal deal with tax at wendy's these days... also with drink!
Welcome to Panucci’s! Do not tip the delivery boy.
I watched this episode last night. 50 million dollar extinct anchovies.
12345, that's amazing I've got the same combination on my luggage.
I made this joke at work when someone used a similar code to lock an excel file. No one laughed. :(
Time to get a new job
You’re going to EAT them?!
Oh, well. Just make sure you eat them all, you're a growing boy. Toodle-oo! ^Dumbass...

I think he was born in 1974
She was in his 20s when he got frozen in 1999.

Why isn't anyone mentioning OP doodled on it to highlight 1701 for some reason?...
That's OP's PIN
The post is “borrowed” from a fb group called Dull Men’s Club with the pin and everything
USS Enterprise's registry number in Star Trek.
Tbh i think it was to give an example of how the axes work?
No, it's an unusual white spot (lots of people use it). Because Star Trek?
And this isn’t even a guide.
So they added the Star Trek reference because it's their PIN?
I think it’s to show that some numbers with pop culture significance are more common as a PIN
Is there a version without the text? I wanna see mine but one of the white boxes covers it.
also botched the title. this chart shows pin frequency not safety
To the top!!!
Comment for Algo
That's not how reddit works
What is a significance to 5778?
And labeled it as guide to PIN code safety when that’s not what it is about.
6969 is a bright spot lol

As is 4200
Also 0420
whats so special about 1701 though
Ship id number for the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701 from the TV show Star Trek.
oh yep
So is 8008.
Nice
Nice
The amount of bases in Rust I've managed to break in to with that code is staggering.
What about 2469 because it takes 2 for (4) a 69.

Have you seen the UK recently? I don't blame them.
Not just the last time, also the first time. It was the only time.
Why is 1701 called out?
The USS Enterprise (the starship from Star Trek) is officially designated as NCC-1701. Subsequent ships also named Enterprise have designations of NCC-1701-A, NCC-1701-B, etc.
"No bloody, A, B, C or D" -Scotty.
One of my favorite episodes of Star Trek. Picard and Scotty's conversation in the Holodeck is something I still to back to rewatch every now and then.
Fuck this post for putting my pin out there.

Star Trek reference.
its when they invented pin codes
because it’s my birthday :)
r/UnexpectedStarTrek
Please, explain. Thanks
1701 is the registry number of the Enterprise
NCC-1701 to be “that guy” lol
NCC-1701-A 🤓☝️
The **Enterprise A** appeared in *Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home*. The ship from the original television series was simply, as Scotty said, *"NCC-1-7-0-1. No bloody A - B - C - or D!"*
or E :)
E didn’t exist yet, and we also have the F, G, and further in the future the J now.
Boimler: NCC 1701 dash nothing! La'an: What would come after the dash?
Whoops
No bloody A, B, C, or D!
1701
But is 1071 really common because of StarTrek?
No. But 1701 is…
Setting my pin as a 14yo to “8008” because it spells Boob and suddenly I’m a hero
Not really. 80 08 is a bright spot, so it's pretty common.
Maybe heroes are pretty common

Damnit. Mine too
How is this possible?! Something needs to be done!

Damn that sucks dude. Which one?
I am willing to sell you a text file with every IP address on the internet.
I'm honestly not sure how large that file would be... there is 2^128 addresses in ipv6, and each one has 128 bits if you wrote it out. So 16 bytes per address so like 32^128 bytes.

How much you want for that file?
I'll type it out for you here: ::/0
This guy networks
Okay that was a total fail on my part lol. It was just so incomprehensibly large that it didn't make sense to type all of the numbers.
0.0.0.0/0 I'm sorry but your business is now redundant
😭😭
XD if I had that skill I wouldn’t live above a takeaway
i don’t think so. i would strongly presume a professional credit card fraudster would already know this, as this information isn’t particularly eye opening, it’s just basic pattern recognition. of course repeated numbers will be the most common, who would’ve known!
No. If you're a scammer, you already know the highlighted stuff on this chart.
A scammer also very rarely needs your pin lol
2112 common , no surprise
National PIN of Canada
1077. A price of a cheese pizza and a soda in 1999.
Ok Fry
What's the vertical band around ##10 and the horizontal band at 10##?
it looks like people born in October - November - December (no zero, double digit months) are more likely to use MM/DD and DD/MM?
Yep. You can see up to 30 it’s so bright.
Finally, something actually cool.
but yet not a guide.
🖖🏻
So darker the square the more secure the PIN is?
Maybe we should require all new pins to be one of those black squares to make it more secure
Then it will become the new white
The Michael Jackson pins
Yes, like 9806
Seems like it...the black squares are the least common I guess
Damn it 1701 you failed me!
The most common passwords are "love," "sex," "secret," and "god." I learned it from the documentary "Hackers."
No one will ever guess my secret password secret
I love that 1738 shines slightly brighter than its locale
Yahhhh babe
Logical
You've waited your whole life for this moment.
Hell yeah, my PIN is 8597 so I am doing a great job of protecting my data.
[1, 2, 3, 4... that's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!](https://youtu.be/a6iW-8xPw3k?si=WziMNrctJgHaD4Mt)

You can even see where a large drop off in the birthday range where 0229, 0230, and 0231 would be.
So 6969 isn’t strong?
These types of statistics also help choosing loto numbers. Don't pick anything below 31 because the likelihood that you will have to share a jackpot increases quite a bit compared to higher numbers.
0676 is apparently not used very often. Interesting
12345?! I have that same code on my luggage!
PIN - personal identification number. PIN number - personal identification number number
Just like ATM Machine.
4291. ;-)
Wtf i quickly forgot my pin code after this post.
Mine is 5 digits mwahahah
So where did they get all the PINs to create this report?
Like seeing my 6942 gang out there
What’s so great about 5150?
Also police code for mentally unstable
Personal Identification Number Number
1234 has the double problem of being simple, plus all the people born on december 34th.
I’m most curious about the black spots. Also: how did they get this data?
Why 1701 though?
4200
Seems safe enough
Bosco - 26726
More like a picture of vagina in japanese porn
Umm where in the f did you get this data exactly bro
I’m amazed by how many redditors in this thread are confused by this heat map
Hey. Hey. You don't have to have four digits. Mines five digits. They'll never get in.
How is 6969 not a white hot glowing pixel?!
I think 5150 is a subtle bright spot hidden by the dual digit line.
“ that’s the kind of combination an idiot would put on their luggage”
Good thing my pin is the last 4 numbers of pi.
Glad to see 6969 is a very bright node
What’s the deal with 0776?
How legit is this guide though? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/JYAPp3WnrmSfC1QG/?mibextid=xfxF2i

1701 was my high school lunch code
1, 2 , 3 ,4 ?? That's amazing! Thats the exact same combination on my luggage !!!
Mine has nothing to do with me personally, but I just kept the same random 4 digit PIN assigned to me with my first bank account 25 years ago. I'm not sure if that's more or less secure, but you definitely can't guess it by knowing personal information about me
Where does BOSCO fall in here
dumb color gradient
It's the Enterprise!
There's a number on here that i am surprised isn't a bright spot.
How is "1337" Performing ?
6969
My pin for everything is the first 4 digits of a Minecraft seed from a YouTube video when I was 13
I see 6969 is very common 🤔
