Its randomized so someone cant copy your finger movement and figure out your pin. Crazy to see decent security on this

The only other place I’ve seen it used funnily enough is RuneScape.

I came to the comments to make this joke lmao. I never played super consistently, so it always threw me for a bit of a loop.

I think I saw something on lockpicking lawyer’s channel with a keypad that randomized the numbers, but I do a lot of drugs.

Currently using GrapheneOS (custom Android OS), and you can enable this kind of scrambling too!

probably not worth it though unless you also have biometrics set up. (because you can’t rely on muscle memory to unlock the phone)

Haha. I understand the security reasoning, but it always breaks my brain. I just set up fingerprint instead so I don’t have to suffer anymore.

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

I have to use a “scrambler pad” like this at work for entering credit card numbers. Very frustrating to use

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.

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.

As a spawn of Satan, I would like to propose this…

Scrambler for the Pattern Lock… It rotates, sometimes it’s upsidedown, reverse, angled at the left, angled at the right… 😈
