Yes i take your point.
Maybe it's a case of gain experience and confidence in the ability to use
the
key pad in such way that it's always impossible for anyone else to see
which buttons you press.

What I did was first try a key pad with my sighted sister.
So she gave me the advice on how to shield what I am pressing.

>Also I don't know what happens if you put the wrong number in

The shop staff will make you aware. You have 3 chances to get the PIN
in right. If you fail after the 3rd try the system will lock you out!
Tip: take your time, don't rush.

Derek
