The problem with a pin system is that I have a like 8 cards that I use pretty randomly. While any of them can have a pin, the only one I know is my ATM card. I can't imagine how people do this with multiple cards and multiple pins without a password manager or some algorithm.

May I ask why you have eight cards? Is that common in your part of the world?

I've got three cards: personal account, business account, and credit cards. I don't remember the credit card PIN since I rarely need it, so that leaves two PINs. I'm already having a hard time remember my business card PIN since I don't use it much. Can't imagine having to carry around eight and remembering all those PINs!

Eight was an exaggeration. It's five, counting my ATM card. They're all personal accounts. I only know the PIN for the ATM. They're all on autopay and it's not like I come anywhere close to the limit on them, so it doesn't matter.
