According to the analysis, just 20 4-digit numbers account for 27% of all PINs:

1234 0000 7777 2000 2222 9999 5555 1122 8888 2001
1111 1212 1004 4444 6969 3333 6666 1313 4321 1010

Its frightening to know that a little over ¼ PIN codes can be cracked with just these 20 PINs! If you are one of the ones using on of these numbers - it is highly recommended that you pick another PIN.

Unguessable PINs would seem to be unrepeated pairs of numbers greater than 50 — so 8957, 7064, 9653, etc. Choose wisely.
