Codes, codes, codes (23)
We refer to them as pin numbers.
I make up my own four digit pin numbers and they're all the same pin numbers so for me it's very easy to remember my pin numbers.

That's a give away Merc..! I make up my own four digit pin numbers and they're all the same pin numbers so for me it's very easy to remember my pin numbers.
All the same? So..if someone can crack one they can have access to all your personal data
Or...do you change them on a regular basis?

They are a nuisance but just hang in there as it won't be for much longer. People who work in that area of technology say that codes/numbers will soon be replaced by things like finger print recognition and voice recognition.

I don't need a pin number to enter my home.All the same? So..if someone can crack one they can have access to all your personal data

I use the same pin numbers for banking and if someone was to crack my bank pin numbers then the bank would reimburse me so it doesn't bother me if someone raids my bank accounts

Here and in most places in europe, it's called a pincode.I make up my own four digit pin numbers and they're all the same pin numbers so for me it's very easy to remember my pin numbers.

Here most of the apartment buildings are protected with a pincode to get in the main door, they still have locks, but no one really uses their key to unlock the door. So far the system hasn't gotten that "upgraded" like in South Korea, where they use pincodes to unlock their actual apartment doors, I use the same pin numbers for banking and if someone was to crack my bank pin numbers then the bank would reimburse me so it doesn't bother me if someone raids my bank accounts
The banks will usually reimburse you if your account gets "raided", but not if it's due to your own negligence. Even though I usually find myself having to "run" through the other codes in my head before I find the right one, I think having the same pincode for everything is too risky.

myssmyss: Does anyone of you have the same problem or rather, notice the samething?
Whenever I want to use my bankcard, I always have to memorise the code, before I get to use it. I also do the same thing when I want to enter my appartment building (as soon as I hop off the bus I start, it takes 3 minutes to the door). I have so many different 4 digit codes "floating around" in my head, that sometimes I use the wrong one. Until about 3 years ago, I worked taking care of elderly people at their homes, and I still have some of the codes to their apartment buildings "floating around" in my head.
A few weeks ago, I wanted to take some money out at the bankomat, I hopped off the bus, and started memorising all the codes, that I could remember the few steps to the automat, only to realise that I had forgotten the code. I started to panic, since I had left the book where I have the bankcode.....written as a "protective code" at home. I was on my way back to the bus terminal, when I remembered, that I have the bankcode, also "coded" in my mobile phone, so, back to knocking my brain to find the code to unlock my phone, found the code, then back to the bancomat.
Have we now become a people whose lives evolve around codes for everything…..codes for the phones, bank etc., plus a code to protect that bank code etc. or am I just getting old and paranoid? I know the computing system is also about codes….but different codes.
I use encrypted software applications to store and retrieve my pass codes and passwords. I eventually remember them by using some type of association. 1password for instance does the job on all of my apple products (mac mini, iphones, iPads etc.) Whenever I want to use my bankcard, I always have to memorise the code, before I get to use it.

Well you kiddies like to do everything electronically. Boomers did it the old fashioned way. We go to the bank and withdraw cash (Won't have that anymore in a couple of years). Never use as ATM card. Do they even have them anymore?!?!? Who cares? I've never used one. I only use the million passwords because they make me and some sites make me change it every time I log in. This "new" way of doing things is not necessarily an improvement over the old days, those ancient times 15 20 25 years ago! But it avoids human interaction and that's what millennials seem to like.:angel. In my day they called is autistic and my sister diagnosed me as hopelessly autistic. No, she doesn't know a damn thing about it, she's just another KNOW IT ALL.

I spell words. Each number has 3 letters assigned to it on a touchtone phone. Four letter words are easy to remember, and frequently used. Having grown up in the "beeper/pager" era and sending codes instead of phone numbers to friends made learning and remembering it easier.

Stan_147: A VERY bad idea.
It is supposed to be easier for us and they're doing their darn best to convince us and having us all chipped in a very near future! 
But...who really wants to be chipped?????

Have used the same numbers for years the bank would notify me if I needed to change my pin.
A few months ago one of my bank accounts had been compromised they got me to close my account make another account which had nothing to do with my atm pin number..They reimbursed me straight away.

1. Familiarity with a known figure--i.e. Cary Grant's stats minus the zeros (just an example)
2. Backward phonics in another language, memorized in a way only I know.
3. A relatives' stats.
If I carry any info, it is "coded" as such: deceased friend's sister's old address plus her date of birth minus three.
Many people find that having a familiarity with the remembered code is helpful. Another could be this example:
Cumulative college GPA plus two on the first #, minus one on the middle #. Hope this helps

Sorry Rohaan, thanks, but your code, is such a code, that I'm having trouble understanding that. I'll stick to the ones that keep me "rattling" my brains whenever I want to use them, atleast that way, I'll find them before my 3 chances to find the right one are up. 1.

If you are going to right down your pin codes and carry them with you and can chose the number have them down like this HPN MY as this will mean my house pin number and my mothers year of birth but, if it was stolen it would mean nothing to anybody else.

Pins are more of a backup in the US--4 numbers are not much security. Passwords with numbers and symbols are the rule. Fortunately, I don't do business on the phone.
As far as predictions of the future are concerned, I see no trouble copying the digital value of a fingerprint or duplicating an implant (without inserting it in a body). I don't see those winning the competition.

A little muddled, then. If you already have it sorted out, why the thread??
