That would be true if the password could be longer. As it is now, there are
about 100 millions combinations (users usually choose a word, that makes
about 10000 word, multiplied with 10000 numbers = 100 millions), and thus it
could be cracked in a few days.

Someone could still your wallet, or take a photo of your PIKs, or simply
copy the PIKs... and you would never know.

So, sorry to say, the security of Pecunix log-in is not better than others.
If the password could be longer (the maximum set to at least 20 characters),
things would be entirely different. And even better if Sidd would put three
passwords (and one PIK), as he said. But anyway, Sidd, also think at the
"Bedazzled" log-in, with password images (those images can be copied only by
someone with access to the computer, unlike a printed PIK).
