The process of retrieving or viewing a Personal Identification Number (PIN) directly within the VietinBank iPay mobile application is generally not a supported function. Security protocols typically prevent the display of sensitive information like PINs to safeguard user data from unauthorized access. Instead, procedures exist to reset or request a new PIN if it is forgotten.
The absence of a direct PIN viewing feature enhances the security of banking transactions. Permitting access to the existing PIN within the app would create a potential vulnerability if the device were compromised. Historically, financial institutions have prioritized PIN protection, often employing measures such as encryption and secure storage, making direct retrieval impractical and risky.
