I'm likely dyslexic. I find it very hard to read numbers especially (I just scramble numbers up in my head), so typing anything on that where numbers aren't in their normal place would be really hard for me.
La Banque Postale has an even crazier version. It’s a 5x5 grid with randomized positions and some buttons are actually empty since there are only 10 digits and 25 buttons. So it’s even harder to know where each number is.
If they weren’t that ridiculous about security, a rowdy teen might score some brew. Or worse, an unauthorized person might trick an innocent business into making them pay payroll taxes. Imagine what a dystopian world it would be if fake IDs existed.
What is the fucking point of a scrambled number pad on a smart phone? You can hide that shit super easy. No one’s gonna just memorize the pattern or lift prints off it 🤦♂️
They wanted to apply this to atms, but they realized most of the people are remembering the path more than the numbers themselves. At end it was abandoned.
Wait people that think a scrambled number pad is appropriate allow you to use your fingerprint?
A hacker demonstrated at a CCC congress how he got the fingerprint of the German defense minister with a digital camera.
Fingerprints are pretty much public information lol
