Applying for My Number Card is easy, be careful of your password

Set your PIN (password) carefully

There are two hurdles to getting my number card. The second is the setting of a personal identification number (password). A sticker was also affixed to the back of the delivery notice, and when peeled off, in addition to the address, name, and seal (which may not be required at present), four PINs (passwords) were to be entered. The PINs are (1) signature electronic certificate PIN, (2) user certification electronic certificate PIN, (3) Basic Resident Register PIN, and (4) ticket entry assistance PIN, but the name is long. Since the meaning is unknown, it seems that ordinary people cannot distinguish it.

Only the PIN code of ① must contain 6 to 16 alphanumerical characters, uppercase letters (lowercase NG), and 1 or more letters and numbers. If you're a reader of INTERNET Watch, this is a "common" pattern. I feel that it is easier to remember than the pattern that includes only English letters, only numbers is NG, and English letters include uppercase and lowercase letters.If it is an example of a 6-character PIN

AB2112 …… ○ Ab2112 …… Lowercase letters × 122112 …… Numbers only × ABDCWE …… English letters only ×

It's like that. The remaining 2), 3), and 4) PINs are 4 digits. As a note, it says "You can set the same PIN", so when you read the line spacing, "People who are likely to forget can use the same number. What if they use the same number? Use the same number." Interpreted. When I tried using it with e-Tax, I feel that this interpretation was the correct answer.

If the hurdle in the first half of getting an Individual Number Card is "finding the" paper "with the application ID," the hurdle in the second half is this "PIN". As described in the first part, a person who tried to apply for a fixed amount of 100,000 yen using My Number forgot his PIN and rushed to the government office and became dense. If you enter the wrong PIN for ① 5 times and ②③④ for 3 times in a row, your My Number card will be locked and you will not be able to use it. Cancellation must go to the government office. If it is supposed to be locked on the night of the final tax return, a deduction of 100,000 yen is a bubble. I definitely want to avoid going to the ward office of Nagoya City to cancel because I am working in Kawasaki City like the author. It's not a "fight that can't be defeated" but a "number that can't be forgotten".

Don't fluffy numbers. Take measures to prevent you from forgetting, such as making the number hard to forget or taking a picture with your smartphone when you fill it out. When you actually file a tax return with e-Tax using My Number Card, you will frequently enter the PIN numbers for ① and ②. Fortunately? Kindly? Since the input screen suggests the number of characters such as "password for signature is 6 to 16 digits of alphanumericals" and "password for user certification is 4 digits", ① should be 2 or more alphabetic characters + 4 digits, ②③④ ① If you keep the same number as the latter half, the frequency of mistakes will decrease. Each person has his or her own way of thinking about security, so you have to make your own judgment, but if you use patterns such as (1) = AB2112 and (2) (3) (4) = 2112, it seems that even a jijii like the author is okay.
