slimysteve Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I put mine on the day it came out, and had it on since now. But recently, i've just become so annoyed at typing the same code 4~, 5 times a day just to access my bank :? Really, Im now thinking that the risk is worth it. It would be rather ironic if I got hacked tomorrow.. :P Is this the same for you? Even though a PIN is reassuring, im not sure I want one these days :o **Gets hacked** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Had one for about 2 days, removed it since. I hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAGE Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Never got one until 3 weeks ago, it lasted 2 days. Hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd17 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know where you're coming from. Mine gets reall annoying because i stay on for like 30 mins at a time before I log off again and then I have to enter it again and again lol. But I do think it's worth it to me anyways because I tuck my partyhat in everynight and want it to be safe and worry free : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 It's a mixed feeling. I hate having to type it again in after lagging out for a sec, and I hate when poisin is killing me and my Bank Pin is the one thing stopping you from grabbing that Antipoisin in the bank, but it is still saving me from the offchance that I get "hacked" :mrgreen: .

weirdguy0101 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 no, its pretty much natural by now. Ferst few weeks yes, but in 3 months its nothing. (Quit: tallest please come to the death altar, give me 1,337,000,000 gp, a golden tinderbox, and a spade, also steal one of zidanes phats and give it to me.

Artemis_42 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 It doesn't really bother me to tyep it in every time I log in. The little extra security is a good thing in the off chance i'm "hacked".

misterxman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 It doesn't annoy me, small cost for much higher security. What annoys me are people who don't set PINs but then complain and moan when they got hacked as if they coudln't do anything to prevent a part of it.

Shaddd Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 It annoys the hell out of me, but I'm fast with it. Just an extra 5-10 seconds. They need to let you have the option of using the buttons or typing it in though. I'm not using until my Abyss RCing is done. Banknig is getting rather annoying with ym constant logging. I'll put it back up when I get 10M, I don't want that h4x0r3d. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterxman Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 If you had the option to type it in, then its purpose would be lost. :| The bank pin works in such a way that just about most keyloggers can't detect it since there are no actual keystrokes used.

Freshwacka Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 If you had the option to type it in, then its purpose would be lost. :| The bank pin works in such a way that just about most keyloggers can't detect it since there are no actual keystrokes used. What he said, but if the keylogger can detect mouse clicks and can see what you see on the screens, you're doomed. Not sure if thats called a keylogger. Anyways, I took my pin off when I was getting 99 cooking because I kept having to go eat and get a drink and watch tv and go to the bathroom and the pin just frustrated me. 99 Crafting Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirHartlar Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I love my bank pin; the reassuring chimes, the comfort of knowing my bank is safe when I log out. Life is good :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddfaery2 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I love bank PINs... only thing that annoys me about them is that they came out AFTER I lost my bank (at the time worth around 250m) to a keylogger (form of virus that records what you type to steal passwords). People can get a virus whether or not they go downloading files, so in my eyes, the protection is more than worth any inconvenience. I even try to make sure I don't log out in anything too expensive if I don't have to. Proud to have gotten 1800 skill total before access to fishing guild Why make a house when you can rob one?

redserpent4 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 faery is right. the benefits of it far outweigh the annoyance of having to enter it every time you log in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy1102 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I generaly think about it like this... "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it." Someone been watching to much Alien vs Predator eh? :lol: The bank pin doens't annoy me too much. Except for when I'm in a rush and I forgot I haven't entered it yet. I rather have the secruity. Besides I bank all my stuff before I log out. If someone hacks me they're gonna have to wait 7 days :wink: And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.

FuBai Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yes I do get annoyed by mine, but I've had it set scince the day it came out, and I really don't thik the risk is worth it. Trying to earn back 20m from nothing would not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamskii Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 When my bank account was hacked I had a PIN number; however when I recovered my account the PIN had been removed anyway. I still have a Bank PIN, it is now obviously a different number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mementh Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I will refer you to a post on my blog.. actually two The Post i made after i was hacked http://www.mementh.dyndns.org/blog/index.php?entry=entry060116-233924 And nearly 6 months after http://www.mementh.dyndns.org/blog/index.php?entry=entry060714-041722 I lost nearly at the time of the 6 months with my rares included 1.6 billion gp. Who knows how i got hit.. but i did So where does that leave my advice? Make a pin.. put it in your wallet? put it in your shoe? put it in your dresser.. but HAVE A PIN! The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!

toast647 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 i do get annoyed with mine but i think its worth it, but im recently thinking i doubt anyone is going to get into my account cause my password is pure gibberish :lol: but then again what if i get a keylogger Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecool280 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I got my pin the day it came out and I was going to take it off until one day I read :"5 days left till your pin can be removed." I found out I had a keylogger. I got rid of it and changed my pass and im thankfull for my pin howerever how annoying, if it hadnt been for that, the guy using the keylogger could have got to my bank, not just my account.
