- This is because Caroline could remember only the largest string of 4-digits.
- 6-digit was too long for her to recall.
But now there are many banks that are offering a 6-digit PIN code for accessing the Debit cards. Sometimes we may even forget the 4-digit code. Just imagine what happens if the PIN was 8 digits like that of passwords for emails, social media accounts etc.
