A little rant for this Saturday about a stupid usability problem which will never get fixed.

My pin is also a pattern, recently I paid at a restaurant, and they had a card unit with a touch screen, I suppose for fingerprint reasons; the numbers on the pad were randomised.. took me quite a while to remember what my pin number was in tge end

Oooof! Yeah, I don't think I could cope with that.

Don't come to Korea. Every banking transaction requires you to punch in your PIN at least twice with a randomized numpad. Well actually it's a 4x3 numpad with 2 spaces randomly inserted into it.

What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
