Yes. And this is a very good idea, because filtering the PINs and passwords directly leads into attacks to find them out. It's just misunderstanding data security to filter away to hide something.
Complete this yourself for usual PINs with 4 or 5 digits and a small computer program, which does the job of counting. Then you'll have your homework ;-)
Anybody, who offers filtering data away as a solution to hide this data, has no clue of data security at all.

BIG GRIN :-) well I agree on this one VB! I always got a laugh when the GUI asks for information that should be protected, eg:
dob, ssn, back account#, et al.
huh? you want me to enter the data that should not be sent.
Give me $10.00usd and make sure this precious data NEVER leaves your system! (aw heck, I'll give to you for free)
NEVER ENTER THE DATA! period.
make sure brain is active before the fingers go into motion :-) -- --- Jeff B (remove the No-Spam to reply) .
