1234

Sequential number string

A sequence of the first four counting numbers, often cited as an example of a weak password or PIN: Her ATM code was 1234.

The sequence appears in jokes about security laziness and in tests of numeric input fields.

It can indicate a placeholder or generic sequence: Just enter 1234 for now.
