IntroductionNowadays, people store their data in computers rather than physical objects such as paper, this is to ensure that their data is durable (usually against damage such as corrosion). This data can also be easily reproduced with one simple step and can be stored for long periods of time. Users can organize files in their own way, where they themselves will know where their data is stored, thus allowing the simplicity of easy data access. Given the generality of data storage in computers, this increases the focus on data security. It is a common fact that personal data is considered confidential. One of the most common methods to ensure adequate data security is to set pins and passwords. This is very similar to having a house key, without a key the owner would not be able to enter his house. Therefore, the consequences of their loss can be as disastrous as having your confidential information freely exploited by an unknown person without you knowing that this is happening, for example, this can lead to financial damage. You can also use this information for illegal uses, examples vary from money lending by loan sharks to terrorist acts. The most common method now to have passwords and pins is automatic generation, widely known as password generator, another less common method is user-defined, where people will create the password or pin and remember it themselves. Learn more about pins and passwords A personal identification number (PIN) is a numeric password shared between a user and a system that can be used to authenticate the user to the system.ISO 9564-1, the international standard for management and PIN security in retail banking, allows four to twelve digit PINs, but also notes that...... half of the card...... sensitive personal information. Therefore, there is a need for secure pins and passwords, especially ones that don't require too much trouble to get. Furthermore, with the implementation of what we have proposed above, the OPG (Online Password/Pin Generator) and the OTP (One -Time Passwords), are useful in many situations providing ease of use for people, especially because both provide secure passwords and pins. We also find this with ensuring that OPG systems are hardened, ensuring security and reducing the hassle of generating and/or regenerating a password, along with OTP. These systems further enhance security by serving as part of the access control to confidential and sensitive information. Therefore, we conclude and strongly agree that automatic generation of pins and passwords should be widely implemented, especially in information security..
