How do people remember their pin numbers and passwords?

I have a couple of passwords to various websites like email, facebook etc. I just type them all in and one of them works.

Its the pin number to your bank card which is the problem. I know you can change it but what 4 digits can you use thats easy to remember besides your birthday. I have mine written down in my wallet which is very risky if i ever lost it.

I remember them with my mind.

I usually use my brains

KeithM89 · 31-07-2013 1:31pm

Weirdly, its the same as the first four numbers of my mobile number.

And also my boards password.

I repeat them over and over in my head until I can remember

There is usually a white strip on the back of the card where you can write stuff. It is perfect for writing your PIN on, never have to worry about forgetting it. Much better than a piece of paper in your wallet, as you may lose that!

A fake telephone number in my wallet. Last few digits is the pin.

aujopimur · 31-07-2013 1:33pm

I have it written in big black letters on my bank card.

Store you pin as a contact in your phone, never in the wallet, Strange i've never had a problem with passwords or pins. Guess i'm lucky

You just have to threat it a a phone number and learn it off.
You can also use a number such as the year of something that happened in your life that wouldn't be obvious!

I put my pin number on the back of my bank card and I have a sticker on the

back of my iPhone with my pin on it. it works for me

Is this a Troll Thread? if not, just change your pin to a 4 digit number you will remember....

BeerWolf · 31-07-2013 1:36pm

Make a tune of it like in them adverts...

BunShopVoyeur. · 31-07-2013 1:36pm

I'm surprised that this is even a problem tbh.

A four digit number should be easy to remember once you repeat it to yourself once or twice.

JP85 · 31-07-2013 1:36pm

Seriously, a 4 digit number!!!

Sciprio · 31-07-2013 1:37pm

I remember a lot of numbers. My ATM,my current mobile phone number,my previous mobile number, all of the house telephone numbers we had over the years(over 4+) different passwords for facebook,emails etc.

2222 still remember my bike lock code from college

It really isn't that difficult for normal people to remember 4 numbers. If you're bad at numbers, perhaps try memorising a pattern on the keypad (e.g. 2580 would be a straight line down the middle of the keypad).

mad muffin · 31-07-2013 1:37pm

You're never going to get me to divulge such secret information

My pin is made up of two years that a football team won a trophy. Genius.

Same as the price of a cheese pizza and large soda at Panucci's Pizza

SCOOP 64 · 31-07-2013 1:42pm

Ive had for same number for years, so i don't actually think of the number ,my fingers just hit the right numbers on the keys, but about a year ago i was ask "put in your pin "at shop ,for some reason i tryed to think of the number in my head, rather then do it automatically, could not remember the number for the life of me!

Mr. CooL ICE · 31-07-2013 1:43pm

I remember my pin by a pattern on the keypad, not the actual numbers.

What pisses me off are the keypads which start from the bottom (789456123). They wreck my buzz

How do you remember the pin for your phone tho? Store it as a contact on a second phone?
