A method of generating a Personal Identification Number (PIN) between a first device and a second device in a network is provided. The method includes securely receiving information of input choices of the second device and random numbers assigned to the input choices at the first device. At the first device, the PIN is generated from the random numbers, and instructions are provided directing an entry of the input choices on the second device. At the second device, the input choices are entered. The second device is operable to generate the PIN from the input choices and the random numbers if the input choices are entered as instructed.
