Abstract: A system to indicate to a user to enter a personal identification number (PIN) on a commercial off the shelf (COTS) device, the system comprising: a secure card reader communicatively coupled to the COTS device, and wherein the secure card reader receives a payment card; a payment application installed on the COTS device; and one or more devices other than the COTS device. The payment application installed on the COTS device transmits one or more prompts to the one or more devices other than the COTS device based on a set of signals received from the secure card reader. The secure card reader transmits the set of signals after the payment card is received at the secure card reader, and the one or more prompts comprise at least one indication to the user to enter the PIN on a display of the COTS device.
