Why is 1701 circled?
NCC-1701 is the ship designator of the Enterprise from Star Trek
This occurred to me right after I posted. But are there that many ST fans?
Yes. Dozens of us.
DOZENS!
It's pretty iconic and when you need to make a 4-digit pin quickly, it's something that stands out if you're a fan of the series. But as the heat map suggests, it may not be the most secure
I’m a fan of the series but it would never occur to me to use that as a pin.
It was an extremely popular show when it was new, and continues to have a cult following among nerds.
IDK if I'd call it a cult.....
When it was new? It’s had various new incarnations for over half a century.
Lots of Anna Magdalena Bach fans out there. A real lot. Or otherwise, people are using the worst possible pin to access their BIR1701 income tax return. But probably fans of baroque music.
