What things to keep in mind
While creating the PIN, some important things should be kept in mind and ensure that the same PIN or password is not used everywhere. While creating the password, there should be numbers, special characters and words. Which makes it difficult to hack.
For example, you can keep a password like user@123#45@, you can also keep a special name in place of the user, which is secret. While creating the PIN, you should not keep any digit from the mobile number by mistake. Because most of the people make this mistake while making PIN. Use such digits in PIN which are difficult to guess.
