About

PIN

Read full description

PIN-Master is a small tool that makes it easier to remember PIN numbers. PIN-Master does not save the PINs itself or the associated passwords. Instead, a letter card is generated that can be used to decrypt a PIN together with a password. PIN-Master can encrypt up to 8 PINs with one or more passwords and display them on a letter card. PIN-Master saves the letter card as a document; several of these documents can be kept so that more than 8 PINs can be encrypted. The letter card can be printed out, e.g. in the size of a credit card, and stuck onto a card that is no longer in use.
