personal identification numbers

Secret bank digits

Personal identification numbers are numeric codes used to verify identity, especially for accessing bank accounts, electronic devices, or secure systems.

Usually four to six digits, they function as a simple password known only to the authorized user.

The singular PIN is far more common: Enter your PIN at the ATM.

The redundant phrase "PIN number" persists despite criticism.
