An ordinary sock with the toe cut off can be pivoted into position to block anyone seeing you enter you PIN number.
Sock on wire can be swung into position or out of the way, depending on users ability to input the PIN while blind.
Key pad should be a bit larger and have a bump to assist your
fingers finding the right keys.

Why not just have huge conical cuffs on your shirt, like those 17th century lace ones, but solid, rigid and opaque ? |
|
| |
Then again, they might look a bit odd on a T-shirt ... |
|
| |
A gas mask and a smoke grenade can be equally useful for
this. |
|

Mildly disappointed this isn't the toe-operated PIN device I had expected. Although..someone might steal your shoe. |
|
| |
Won't it be very awkward to operate the control panel of
the ATM with a single toe, even with a hole in your sock for
it to poke through? |
|
| |
Oh I see now. You cut off one of your toes and use that like
a sort of stylus to poke the keys. Seems very extreme to
me. Can you buy spare toes on ebay? |
|
| |
This makes sense on a shoe-phine perhaps. |
|
| |
are we using a finger poked through the sock or a toe? not sure I can manoeuvre that well these days. |
|
| |
Maybe you could use someone else's toe, poking through a hole in their sock. As [xenzag] points out, the toe need not actually be still attached to a foot. |
|

I regret having used toeless in the title, but I am under the delusion that comments will have something to do with ... I got distracted. ahh nevermind. |
|
| |
So would just a regular sock work just as well then? Can the idea be extended to other forms of hosiery ? |
|
| |
In which case, doesn't this idea in essence boil down to gratuitous and profligate sock promotion? |
|
| |
Shame on you [popbottle], shame. |
|
| |
Hat pins are rare enough nowadays but I have never seen sock pins in use. I understand they were traditionally used to close the open toes of toeless socks. |
|
| |
Stupid question, but do ATM/cashpoints where you are have a random shuffle button option, obviously only on touch-screens? So even if someone watches your finger movements, they won't get the PIN. |
|
| |
As per normal, no one wants to toe the line, even on toe-oriented issues. |
|
| |
I should have done an image search on toeless socks before posting this. Who would have thought a toeless would have 5 erh 6 holes ? Not me. sigh. |
