PIN Length
How to Generate a PIN using the tool?
- Set the PIN length using the slider. The range that can be used is 4 to 20 digits. Default length is 4 digits
- The PIN is automatically generated in the PIN field for the configured length
- You can regenerate new PIN each time by clicking the Generate button or Refresh icon
How Secure is the Generated PIN?
- The PIN generated by this tool is generated locally and not stored anywhere. There is no exchange of data with server for PIN generation or storage.
- This PIN is generated using Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithm. It generates a random number based on computation or a programming algorithm.
- RNG is the most secure method. The higher the number of digits, the more secure it will be
- There are other pin generation techniques such as Hash Function and Salted Hash mainly used for storage, Paraphrase Pin generation based on dictionary and Cryptographically Secure Random Number Generator or CSPRNG that uses a seed from external source such as noise, OS interrupts etc..
- A 4 digit PIN is secure enough for most common usage. With a 4 digit combination, the tool can generate upto 10,000 combination of random numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999
Frequently Asked Questions on Pin Generators
The Random 4 digit Number Generator is a free online tool for users to generate 4 digit codes for their everyday use.
Users can use this generated code to configure and secure their digital sites and physical devices that support pin based entry.
Yes, it can be used any number of times without any limits or conditions
Yes, you can generate unlimited PINS ranging from 4 digits to 20 digits.
The number of combinations ranges from 10^4 (10 k) to 10^20 (exa)
This tool uses PRNG (Pseudo Random number Generator) which is program based, all of which typically use a seed based on which the number sequence is generated.
The numbers generated by PRNG are not considered as truly random unlike the TRNGs.
A TRNG or True Random Number Generator uses physical component that relies on signals, noise, vibrations, interrupts, wind, disturbances etc. to produce the randomness.
A 4 digit PIN ranges from 0000 to 9999. Each digit can take a value of 0 to 9. This means there can be 10^4 or 10,000 combinations.
A 6 digit PIN will have10^6 which is equal to 1000000 ie a million combination of numbers.
