How do you memorise 6-digit authentication codes?

and are wrong

assuming that's supposed to be pi.

I remember it as:

31415926 535 89 79 323 84 62 64 3383 279 502 884 197 169 399 375 1058

The authentification codes are only used once so need to take precautions.

I had problems with one site when I foolishly entered the 6 digit number as displayed ### ### by the authenticator i.e. with a space between the groups of 3 digits instead of as a 6 digit number as required. No error message just a failure to login. Many sites give you 2 x 3 digit boxes to type in to help idiots like me !
