Oh man, I want to use a longer pin for my card so badly.
From what I understand, the banks mostly support it, the problem is that not all point of sale does. Those terminals are frequently cobbled together with some pretty garbage software and if it’s hard-coded to four digits, whelp, good luck. I hope tap is working… Or NFC or something because otherwise, you’re SOL.
“PIN number”

“FOSS software”
Who’d win in a fight?
Personal PIN number.

Try it out. You may find out that your bank supports much longer pins, but only uses the first four digits anyway.
Truncation is not a good look.
For being an institution that is supposed to be trusted to hold all your money, their security has me scratching my head most of the time.
