I have a workaround for that! Take out your phone and search for a hidden app called “phone” (should be pre-installed). There should be a “keypad” tab. There you can type in the pin from muscle memory to get the actual numbers.
except phone keypads and computer keypads are inverted.

True.
But this isn’t about computer keybads, but ATM keypads and they are the same as my phone keypad.
You are correct. I was assuming they’d be more like 10-keys. Google images shows they’re usually in the phone orientation.
Maybe the calculator would be similar?
I one time opened netflix to do this
You’re out of luck if you need the letters though, because phones and PIN keypads don’t have the same letters on the same numbers.
I remeber letter on keypads when I was like 14 and using sms on a keypad to text my girlfriend on a Nokia phone. Why are you still using that?
I used to be able to type out a full text with my phone barely opened in my pocket in class, certainly can’t do that with touchscreens 😅
These days I can type pretty fast on a touchscreen but I do sometimes miss the old days of unique flip phones compared to the boring slabs of glass we get now.

I’ll just put this with all the other fire.

Brilliant! I wish my #bank 's #ATM was like this!
Right now, I have to cover my PIN-entering hand with my other hand, and then do a whole bunch of fake button presses, in order to hopefully confuse any hidden cameras. Hopefully. Maybe. It’s absolutely maddening, and it probably isn’t actually secure because real button presses require more force than fake ones.
If only the keypad was randomized like this, entering my #PIN securely would be easy. 😭
How irresponsible. I almost forgot mine seeing this.
Why mix up all the numbers, but not numbers 9, 5 and 6?
If the randomizer algorithm isn’t allowed to leave any numbers in their original position, it sacrifices a tiny bit of security and a tiny bit of processing power, and a tiny bit of disk space, for no real benefit.
Yeah it’s like how the optimal cypher was like 11 swaps
OPs PIN is 9565
More like 6969 and the 5 is a red herring
I installed an NFC door reader at work. You can add a backup pin. But the reader is tall and it’s only two rows so you get
9 3
8 7
2 6
5 1
4 0
it’s HIGHLY infuriating to find the numbers for some reason
I don’t understand. Is the joke that the person’s PIN is actually just “2” because they hit “x” and it cleared everything that came before it?
The joke is someone remembers PIN by pattern/muscle memory and is baffled when the keypad is randomised and numbers aren’t where they should be.
Ahhh, wow. I really missed that one. Thanks for the explanation.
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered an ATM that’s scrambled the keypad before. That would truly trip me up
Of course it won’t be like that on physical keypads.
But…
