Why 1234 is an idiotic PIN? What are idiotic PINs? Of course, idiotic is
any PIN which has in your pocket hints about this (like a sticker attached
or your birthday). But remember, you normally have 3 tries only to test
all "idiotic" PINs. 1234 is same idiotic as 2345 or as 3456 or .... or as
6666, or 7777, or ...
