Is the 1st pin ('1234') static? I.e., does it change into '0192',
requiring the user to write down their current PIN after every login?
I'm guessing that's not the case b/c of the difficulties users would
have with such a system.
So, assuming '1234' is your PIN all the time, and the temporary '0192'
changes each login, you're effectively using '1234' as the password
every time. The '0192' is irrelevant from a security perspective, and
probably an unneeded burden on your users. It doesn't buy you any
more security that I can see, other than requiring two passwords
('1234' and 'password'). It is not two-factor or a similar solution.
