Remember PIN

A friend told me about this gadget web-site that sells PIN rembering devices.  Being unable to store all my numbers in my head and hating the card companies for pushing more responsibility for mis-use of my account on to me; I had to take a look.

www.cardextras.com

A funky site with garish colours, but I found what I was looking for -

'pincard'

a matrix of numbers on a clear plastic sheet. - simple and easy to use with no real chance of a thief getting your PIN if they steal it.  All you need is to remember one letter and one number like A1 or Z3 for example.

How does it work and stay secure?

Simple - you mark the case provided or other item you carry with you where the numbers of your pin line up after the memorised location is lined up.  Then every time you line up the memorised location you can read your pin from the numbers over the marks you made.

With over a thousand  locations you can use and no way for the thief to know which way you read the four numbers back (right to left, left to right, top to bottom or bottom to top) this method is apparently approved by all the major card companies.

I have used it since Christmas and found it easy to live with and 100% reliable.

Not many things I say that about
