I usually speak very loudly while entering my PIN, "1 2 3 4"

My method is to put four fingers over the four digits, and keep them in place while moving all of them for each press.
Assuming a four-digit code, your method generates 2^4^=16 possibilities; mine generates 4^4^=256.

you can hold your other hand over while typing. I know the numbers and dont have to look, thats how I do it.

The ol' two-finger entry method. It's been around longer than PINs.

Something that is potentially helpful for stuff like this:
Every nuneric keypad ive eever seen is laid out in the same way and therr is usually a little bump over 5 which is the middle number.
If you can orient yourself by touch with the bump then the numbers will always be in thr same place and you can use this trick and cover the pad with your hand to be extra discrete.
Its really not hard. Like. Blind people can function in the world.

Sometimes I'll do like jazz hand fingers on the keypad so it looks like I'm just jamming a bunch of random numbers.
Or I'll mimic something like this but without actually pressing the buttons
my pin is 12 digits, I could say it out loud and no one would still be able to get in

You can do the same on a keyboard. Use your left hand to lightly tap the 1234 keys while actually typing out the characters with your right. Saved me when I had to sit next to some nosy kid once.
If somebody steals your card, wouldn't they run the transaction as credit? They wouldn't need your PIN.

I use my penis as a stylus for optimal security--no way the casual viewer can actually see it in person.
replies:
That is simple, but very good, advice.
Do people not use fingerprint? Doesn't just make it harder, but eliminates the peeping aspect altogether.
