Systems, methods, and media for obfuscated personal identification number entry on media devices
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and media for obfuscated personal identification number entry on media devices are provided. In some implementations, a method for personal identification number entry on media devices includes: receiving, using a media device, a request to enter a personal identification number (PIN) using a remote control device that is connected to the media device; causing a PIN entry interface screen that includes (i) a PIN pad in which a plurality of numerical characters and one or more functional options are divided into a plurality of subsections and (ii) a virtual directional pad interface that corresponds to a directional pad having a plurality of directional buttons and a central select button on the remote control device, wherein the virtual directional pad interface allocates a first subset of the directional buttons and a central select button on the remote control device to an active subsection of the plurality of subsections and wherein the virtual directional pad interface allocates a second subset of the directional buttons on the remote control device to navigate between each of the plurality of subsections; receiving a key press from the remote control device; and updating a PIN entry region on the PIN entry interface screen with a numerical character or performing a functional option from the one or more functional options that corresponds with the received key press, wherein the numerical character that corresponds with the received key press and the received key press are inhibited from being presented on the PIN entry interface screen.
