That's a very clever suggestion.

The only thing is that if you're going to pick the pin you might as well use the secret one.

You probably wouldn't want to do that: If the pin was somehow compromised, then the attacker would likely try the same compromised pin number in other places. Using different pins for each service avoids this attack.
