Was it possible for multiple people to have the same code?
It was not. I vaguely recall that during my onboarding (which was long before I needed to use the code) I was asked to pick a code and I needed several attempts.
Funny that If it was possible, codes like
1234would still be almost guaranteed to be valid, but because the code needed to be unique, there were far more valid codes, which made the guess even easier.Plus when trying to pick my own code during onboarding I could note all the failed attempts as also valid codes.
So much fun! :D
Having worked on a system like this, typically no. DMP systems for example, require every user's 4 digit pin number to be unique.
Doesn't that make the numeric code their username? There is no 'password' here.
Sure in theory, but in the UI for these systems it is always called a PIN number or a Passcode.
