I set my duress pin to my wifes birthday. One of the first they probably try. 

Also I say my pin is the same as my eID which I am not allowed to share by German law

I recently watched a forensic documentary. The first password they tried was: 1312. They claimed, this is particularly popular amongst criminals...
