Same here. Especially with my memory problems. A lot of those become shapes that my muscle memory does without me even knowing what I’m doing. Until their database gets breached. (sighs)
Same here. This is one of the core reasons why I use an all-characters-allowed passcode: that way, what I memorize is the pronunciation spelled-out, rather than the geometry.
Unfortunately, I’ve tried and failed to memorize the spelling instead of the pronunciation, and forgotten quite a few because capital letters sound just like lowercase letters. Yeah, I am the weakest link in any security system I use…
CopperheadOS has a new feature to randomize the PIN layout, which ought to counter this attack.
That’s really cool. I think I’d die since I remember my pin more as a shape than a number, but I could learn.

Heh. I think I know my passwords, until I switch to Dvorak, and discover letter memory morphed into muscle memory without my knowledge.
This randomization was implemented in MapleStory, a highly cash based game. I assume it was either to subvert bots or to deter key loggers.
Same attack can be conducted with ATM/CC reader pin pads.
