Why use a 6-digit PIN instead of 4-digit?

6-digit PINs have 1 million possible combinations (000000-999999) compared to 10,000 for 4-digit PINs, making them 100x more secure against brute force attacks.

Where are 6-digit PINs commonly used?

6-digit PINs are standard for banking apps, 2FA (two-factor authentication), credit card security, and modern smartphone passcodes.

How secure is a 6-digit PIN?

With 1 million possible combinations, 6-digit PINs provide good security for most purposes. Combined with rate limiting, they're very effective against attacks.

Can I use this for 2FA codes?

This generates static PINs for device locks or banking, not time-based 2FA codes. For 2FA, use an authenticator app. This tool is great for setting up your initial PIN.

Should I avoid common 6-digit PINs?

Yes! Avoid patterns like 123456, 000000, 111111, or birth dates (YYMMDD). Our random generator helps avoid these patterns.

Are my generated PINs private?

Completely! All generation happens in your browser. We never store, transmit, or see any PINs you generate.
