PIN number possibilities

From today onwards in the UK you are likely to need your PIN number when you pay for things by credit or debit card. But what if you have forgotten your PIN number? What a pickle you will be in. All I can really do to help is suggest some possibilities in the hope that it jogs your memory.

    Nope, I think you have them all covered.

    He he he Neil.

    Did you not have a PIN for your debit cards before? We’ve always had them. PINs on Credit Cards seem a bit odd though: though I suppose it provides more security than a signature.

  3. Rob says:

    AAAGH!!!!

    I read your list and all those other PINs made me forget my own.

    8841

    2753

    are all good

    but it’s always worth trying the year you were born in the hope that’s what you picked as soemthing you’d remember.

    They suggested on TV that you take your PIN, subtract a ‘magic number’ & write the answer down & store in your wallet or purse.
    Then when you need your PIN you look at the piece of paper & add on the ‘magic number’ to get your PIN. This way you only need to remember the ‘magic number’.
    Therefore, my PIN is 8756, but I’ve written down 2419, meaning I only need to remember my ‘magic number’ which is 6337, easy hey!?!

    That’s a BRILLIANT idea – ************ keeps his pin in his wallet – which is awful as his pin is 1234!!!

    I keep trying to explain to my wife that it is better to not know her pin than for a nasty man to know it and have her card….

    [Name edited for top secret security reasons. Now all the bad people know is that someone, somewhere keeps their PIN number in their wallet and the number is 1234]

    Please be wary about posting relatives PIN numbers on this site. Thank you :)

  8. Tiffer says:

    Would anyone like his address and a description of his cards?

  9. Sarah H says:

    Or you can use the good old
    1662 – prayer book…. not

    Reading this blog yesterday was the only thing that took some of the sting away from the disappointment over not seeing the Valentines Day Cartoon.:( + :) .

    That never happened before with any other of your cartoons. Do I need a PIN to access it?

  11. Jen says:

    Another idea for storing your pin number is to have it as the last 4 digits in a number in your phone. For example if your pin is 1234, then you could pretend your friend, Jack has a number 01345 659 1234. You’re the only person who knows you don’t have a friend called Jack.

  12. Mr Bongo says:

    I would imagine that Jack knows though.

  13. John Davies says:

    You’ve probably already seen what Diamond Geezer had to say about it. Great stuff.

  14. Ray says:

    I usually keep my pin something that ive used for years now which would be an id i have for an account i made that uses numbers which indicate when you registered like the first person to register their id is 1 i just take the first 4 digits of my 6 digit id and make it into a pin number
