description: 'PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a knowledge-based SCA challenge factor. Users create a 4-digit PIN that can be used to verify their identity when accessing SCA-protected endpoints.
All PIN creation and verification requests use JOSE (JWE) encryption to ensure the PIN is never transmitted in plain text. See the [SCA over API guide](/guides/developer/auth-and-security/sca-and-2fa) for encryption details.'

Notes:
1. User is required to [create pin](/api-reference/user-security/usersecuritypincreate) before the verification can be successful.
2. Rate limit may be applied if there are 5 continuous unsuccessful attempts and OTT creation will be blocked for 15 minutes.
