‘4’ is actually a great choice if the attackers would start searching from the highest number down. In fact there are only 4 other possiblities that are better: 0,1,2 and 3. And that is assuming the worse case where ‘0’ is a legal choice. /s

No one would even assume that someone chose a single character. People with bad intentions would start at with a minimum of 4 or 6 characters? This way, in case of just bruteforcing your way in, you are indeed very safe. They would brute force into infinity…
