entering PIN the right way

Too confusing with four inputs. Should clearly have been simpler with just one drop-down and all 0000-9999 entries. Users would love it!!!1111

@Fast-Nop

"Users DO love it."

Seen it more than twice. With Corps that spam thousands of users.

@Fast-Nop why not a slider?

@Lensflare OR! even better, a carousel, which is already something users love more than athlete's foot and neurodermatitis combined! :)

A RNG with a spinning wheel like you see with those win a discount popups.

It might take a while to get your 6686 but..: you had some fun doing it!

What about a modal for each digit input. It would be totally more secure that way probably.

Can't wait for such nice input of TOTP codes. How come this is not a thing?

@scor "Non! Si! Ohh!" :)

The suggestions remind me of that contest to design the most creative user unfriendly volume control.

A slow lazy loading page with images for each option 0000-9999 in random order

This reminds me of something i did as a playfully spiteful prank to get back at a friend in my early 20s. He had his setup controlled by 6-digit pins... like multiple levels of depth with different pins... which he really liked and thought of as efficient. They already were in separate fields per digit, automatic to the next or tab accessible based on a hotkey. The mouse/pointer input was already locked out in his design. I simply changed the fields to only accept arrow key input, iterating through 0-9.

At first he said it was a failed attempt to annoy him back... which made it so much worse cuz despite how pissed he was getting, he reeeeally tried holding out.

What a stupid "protection". If they really want to fight against keylogger, I think it's better to make numeric pad of 0 to 9. But all antivirus nowadays have protection against keylogger because of it's very simple mechanism. Also if your user is stupid enough to turn off anti malware, there are 1001 other ways for their data to get stolen.

@daniel-wu there are sooooooo many mechanisms, obfuscation tactics and generally vastly different methodologies that currently fall under "keylogger". By your comment i think you may be severely out dated.

@daniel-wu oh, also... you do realise that anything you can highlight to copy... like a number selection from a typical menu like that, is not only easily grabbed by 'keyloggers' but actually given a higher relevance when it's parsed back out to whoever's at the other end... like by default on nearly any typical, easy to find/use without an otherwise necessary skillset, keylogger/spyware...? Nowadays it's about as common knowledge as knowing if you put a contact email/number on a website, typical links or plain text, it's gonna be scanned/pulled at least a few times a day by generalised creepy crawlies roaming the internet like a poor game of pong. At least if you have any semblance of SEO thats not directly, adeptly, set up to not be cataloged by search engines... aka the scary, ominous, place that, ofc, only hackers, pedos and international hitmen and drug cartels could possibly ever find... the Dark Web! (Aka, anything not on search engines so people dont realise it exists)
