personal identification number

Secret bank digits

A personal identification number is a numeric password, typically four to six digits, used to verify identity when accessing bank accounts, unlocking devices, or completing transactions.

Usually abbreviated PIN: Enter your PIN at the ATM.

The redundant phrase "PIN number" is common in speech despite the built-in "number."
