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.

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.
Y u no COBOL?
