@nixCraft But you are aware that you have billions of tries to guess a Wi-Fi password, but only 3 tries to guess a banking pin, before the account gets locked?

@herdsoft @nixCraft Wow. What bank is this, because my major US banks (both of them) don't have this safeguard.

@frainfostudent @nixCraft Really? I don't know it any different. AFAIK this has always been that way in Germany since the start of online banking.

3 bad tries on the ATM and the debit card is offline.

Just recently I've accidentally entered the wrong transaction identity number three times into the web server of my bank and then the account was locked. It is a 6 digit number.
