PIN Codes

[FallenSuns]

This is both a question and somewhat of a PSA. As it currently stands, you can use PIN codes to allow people within your tribe to have personal storage and doors, etc. What shouldn't be the case, (but is the case) is that people OUTSIDE your tribe currently have the option to guess at your pin.

Is this intended? I'm hoping it's not, and that the only way a non-tribe member can get access is by busting the door or chest open. PIN codes should be tribe internal only.

Had someone in my tribe get his PIN guessed (1-10,000 chance, I believe it is.) and lost everything as a result.

sounds like your friend lied to pass suplys off to other players

Nope. See, no tribe property was lost outside of his. (Using the new personal items settings.)

You can crack more than 10 percent of random PINs by dialing in 1234. Expanding a bit, 1234, 0000, and 1111, make up about 20 percent.

26.83 percent of passwords can be cracked using the top 20 combinations. That would be 0.2 percent of the passwords if they were randomly distributed.

For the data set used, 8068 is the "safest" password, used just 25 times out of 3.4 million.
Birthday years are big. The 1900 PINS--1986, 1960, 1991, and so on--are extremely popular, with PINs from later in the century used the most.

A full 17.8 percent of PINs are couplets, such as 7878, 8181.

2580 seems random, but comes it at No. 22 most-used on the list

Avoid common number sets like "69" uses a zero or two.
