Equinix PIN

Hello

I assume that some of you also have an account / access to Equinix data cen=
ters. And that you have been informed that you have to define a new 6-digit=
 PIN in your account.
Two things make me wonder, see the FAQ here: https://equinix.app.box.com/s/=
lcrutseubx9vebi4m21dir8fp66fmmlq

Extract:

I'm trying to select my 6-digit PIN but am receiving an error message.
--> OUR SECURITY SYSTEMS ONLY ALLOW EACH PIN/COMBINATION TO BE USED FOR ONE=
 PERSON. If you are receiving an error, please input a new combination of n=
umbers or use the "Generate PIN" selection to generate a random, unique PIN.

I forgot my 6-digit PIN, what should I do? / I want to change my 6-digit PI=
N DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, where can I change it?
--> ....Your 6-digit PIN cannot be changed....

In concrete terms, this means that every person has a PIN, but no other per=
son in the world can have the same PIN. This means that a maximum of 900,00=
0 people worldwide can have access to Equinix data centres. (PINs with lead=
ing zero are not allowed)

And if someone knows your PIN, at least your first authentication factor is=
 broken and cannot be changed.

Support has confirmed this behavior to me so far.

Am I the only one here who finds that very weird? How do you deal with it?

Best regards
Michi
