Adding a “duress” password with PAM Duress (2021)
That eliminates all palindrome numbers as possible pins, which is bad for security.

At 4 digits, with a 10 character alphabet, you are looking at a 1% reduction in pin space. Contrast this with the 90% reduction in pin-space you get by not using a 5th digit.

Because it reduces the number of possible combinations? Good reason to keep moving from 4 digits to at least 6 digits.

No, only the reverse of my PIN is a palindrome.
