About PIN Pad

PIN Pad is a numeric keypad for entering a PIN. Dots fill as you type, keys press on a spring, a wrong PIN shakes the dots and clears them, and a correct one pulses them green. Digits can be shuffled for privacy.

PIN Pad is an input component for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.

When to use PIN Pad

  • App lock and passcode screens.
  • Point-of-sale and kiosk interfaces.
  • Two-step confirmation for sensitive actions.
  • Parental controls.

How it works

verify can be sync or async, so the pad waits on your check and shows the result. Physical digit keys and Backspace work too, and the entered count is announced without revealing the digits.

It is a real form control: it has an accessible name, works with the keyboard alone, shows a visible focus ring and announces its state to screen readers. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing PIN Pad

Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.

The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change length, shuffle live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

  • length (number, default 4).
  • verify.
  • shuffle (boolean, default false).
  • label (string, default "Enter your PIN").

Goes well with PIN Pad

These inputs pieces share its tokens and motion language, so they sit together on one page without clashing.

  • Magnetic: Make any React element lean toward the pointer and spring home: a magnetic hover in one wrapper
  • Color Picker: An animated React swatch colour picker with a ring that glides to the selection
  • Rating: An animated React star rating with hover preview and a ripple of popping stars
  • File Dropzone: An animated React file dropzone that lifts on hover and lists uploads with progress
  • Like Button: An animated React like button: the heart pops, sparks burst and the count rolls
