Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for synchronizing a personal identification number (PIN) value stored in a mobile computing device, with a PIN value stored on a remote server. The remote server receives a request from the mobile computing device to record a PIN value, the request comprising the PIN value. The PIN value is recovered from the received request and stored at the remote server. An instruction set arranged to record the PIN value in a secure hardware element comprised within the mobile computing device is generated and transmitted to the mobile computing device. The instruction set executes on the mobile computing device in order to record the PIN value on the secure hardware element.
