Neat. My first thought was that it might be because people use birth years like 1995, 1986, 1974 etc.

2 and 3 may have been used so much that they’ve been replaced. The truth is out there. Quick poll everyone list their PIN numbers bellow and I’ll crunch the numbers and we can have a little facts party

Most used by people who don’t wash their hands – those buttons are filthy

Id say the opposite is true. The dirty ones sit unused long enough for dirt and dust to settle. While the cleaner ones like the 0-2-3 are used more often. My pin only has those 3 numbers in it.

Perfect, I needed a new pin code. 2233 it is.

You see that bump on the 5? It’s so the visually impaired can figure out which button is which. Also means you can completely shield your pin and still easily enter it correctly. That probably plays a part in it being the most touched button.

Everyone uses the atm mostly for the same purpose: withdrawing cash from their checking or savings account. The pathway for “dont check balance > withdrawl > checking/savings > accept fee” maybe doesnt use the 2 or 3.

3 of 4 digits in my PIN are lightly used. That’s probably good.

i think it tells you the pin of someone with dirty fingers not of most used pins.

Doesn’t have to be part of the pin. Could be part of the transaction, “Withdrawal”.

Most common PINs are a person’s birth year.
1920 & 1930s would be too old for an atm and 2000 or up would just now be getting use.

people with the most acidic sweat dont use 2 or 3 in their pins at least.

pro tip: use the pin 0423 to never get your bank account broken into!
