Recent new "security" feature: shuffling the numbers on PIN keyboards. Honestly, I hate it. I don't remember numbers, I remember the pattern they form. So, by shuffling, you kill my cognitive hack and I need extra time to reverse it into the real keyboard in my head.
Anyone else in the situation? I wonder especially for people with different types of cognitive impairment.
I also wonder if this really adds any security, or it's just another gimmick.
