Top 10 PIN Codes Picked by iPhone Users

An iOS developer collected the four-digit passcodes used to lock his iPhone app and found that 14.4 percent of users were using one of the 10 common codes.

Users are encouraged to set a PIN code to lock mobile devices to secure data in case it is lost or stolen. However, users aren’t picking hard-to-guess combinations, according to a recent analysis of iPhone passcodes.
The 10 most common passcodes used by iPhone users accounted for 15 percent of all the passwords analyzed, Daniel Amitay, the developer behind the iPhone app Big Brother Camera Security, said on his Website June 13. The most common values were: 1234, 0000, 2580, 1111, 5555, 5683, 0852, 2222, 1212 and 1998.
Amitay’s Big Brother Camera Security app for the iPhone 4 automatically takes a picture of anyone using the iPhone 4 using the front-mounted camera. The idea is to let users see who might be using the smartphone without permission. In the latest update, Amitay added code to collect information about the passcodes users are selecting to protect the camera app
