There are more and more posts asking for pin resets, seriously is it that hard to remember a couple digit numerical password?
Whats everyone elses view on this or am i just being unreasonably annoyed?

One point of confusion is when signing up, you were asked to create a "secondary password," but when you make a purchase, it's referred to as a "PIN." People assume since it's a PIN, it must be a couple digit numerical password, which usually isn't the case.
However, I have no idea why people are posting about it on the forums. No one on here can do anything about it - you have to PM SR Support. At least they're generally keeping it to one thread, which you can choose to ignore. I'm more annoyed by the BTC panhandling going on, because every person begging for money creates a new thread. But I have the ability to ignore those threads and not open them, too, so I can't really complain about that either.

unless its been changed pretty sure its "withdrawal PIN" but yeah i get where your coming from

It was way back in the early days of SR that it was called a "secondary password."
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that that's why they can't remember it.

I say we round them up....put them in the back of an Ex MOD Land Rover Defender 110, put ballistic armor on them and then let them out of the van and take pot-shots at them from the top of the Ex MOD Land Rover Defender 110 and then when enough of them get away we activate some GPS trackers and hunt them all in a game I like to call "Target practice to remind people to remember their pin".....funnily enough I have the stuff we need to do that. Apart from the guns...anyone want to get on the phone to Team Synaptic?

It's really stupid the way it's done. First of all, when you sign up, you just want to see the website, you haven't necessarily decided to buy anything. Months can go by when you finally do and it's called a different thing, like you necessarily remember your secondary password anyway, let alone a PIN. And of course when you send money to your account you have no idea that you're going to need this "password" because it never tells you what it's for at any point. So you send your money to your account like the instructions tell you and all of a sudden you're missing something you never knew you needed, were never informed the purpose of and isn't even called the same thing. So it's not surprising that people come here panicking that they may have lost a shitload of money from this system.

The solution to all this is to install TrueCrypt on your computer and then encrypt your hard drive, then create a encrypted hidden folder and then have a coded word document for all your pin/password info. Make sure you use triple-cascade encryption on both your hard drive encryption and your hidden folder and then job really is a good'un.
I still like the hunting idea though.

I'm down for hunting! I have a safe full of guns and a stockpile of ammo that would make any soviet proud.
(It's 90% russian ammo, get it...soviet...haha...)
Yea, gonna shut up now.
I made mine something SO fucking easy for me to remember, but no one else would bother to guess it. :P

Its awesome but you gotta watch out when i first got it i kept forgetting quite how strong it was.
Dam dude i have no doubt that you couldn't find that, you already have a armored truck/body armour might as well make it count ;D

To be fair I don't really have any links for guns but I would love to have one of them. And I don't know for sure but I reckon that rifle would go through the armour of the Land Rover. There is no way any of my ballistic armour would resist it. Anti-Material rifles aren't for people really anyway, they are for taking out people behind walls and satellites or specific tactical targets. If you tried to shoot a badger or something with one you wouldn't find it after, or maybe you would but just sprayed over a field. Would be fucking A to have one though, would have a field day if there was a zombie invasion with it. You could go through about a 20 zombie heads at once.
