@l4p1n @Doridian me IRL every time I had to get into my work building each day lmao

[randomizes] “Yeah, PIN is— is… uhh… fuck.” 😵‍💫

It shouldn’t be that hard only randomizing once lmao tho, every time would be.. impossible

@TheMNWolf @tisha Bingo! Keypad wear is a HUGE indicator of a commonly used access code.

If you’ve ever seen those metal push button door locks that have two rows of numbers / letters, usually on a common staff room door, you can figure out the code by checking the wear of the buttons.

If it’s loose / worn, probably part of the code (or at least a common one).

If you find 4 worn common pads, you might have all the digits of the code, just need the order :p

Also, here’s a good visual demonstration of how they work: https://youtu.be/aKK6tlvxios.

You present your access card to the reader, it scrambles the location of the numbers across the pad several times, then stops on a final location for all the numbers.

That’s also where I’d fumble by getting an anxiety spike seeing the numbers move rapidly and forgetting / mistyping the PIN xD
