@Kuniti_shino unless the pin can be entered remotely or programmatically the level of risk is pretty small. Yes a variable length PIN can be more secure but if an attacker has to manually enter an average of 50000 pins to unlock the time to crack is ridiculous. If it enforces progressively longer timeouts between failed attempts it should be nearly unbreakable.
