Login with Calculator: For when you don't remember your PIN but you remember how you came up with it
80085
Creating a pin with the number pad then having to remember it with a normal keyboard... 🫠
In some languages the base layer of the number row is taken up by weird characters so people prefer the numpad to holding Shift, and laptops without one sell poorly
Haha I used to do this all the time for my credit card PIN. Every time I had to enter it I had to get out a calculator as I didn't remember the four-digit number but I did remember the expression I used to derive it.
