The sightings of 1896 pile up: a till display and a door number. What you are dealing with is initiation from the 1 and power from the 8, and they arrive together. The total lands on 6 as well, so notice whose problem you are carrying that is not yours to carry.
What 1896 means
The 6 carries responsibility, home and care, the numbers of the people you look after and the people who look after you. When a number reduces to 6, attention is being asked for, usually closer to home than you expect.
Inside 1896, the 1 carries the spark of a beginning before it has a structure. The 8 adds the honest use of strength and the results that follow it. The 9 brings the closing of a chapter so a cleaner one can open.
The working, shown
1 + 8 + 9 + 6 = 24, and 2 + 4 = 6.
Every number in this system is read the same honest way: add the digits, reduce, and check whether a master number (11, 22 or 33) is trying to hold its full shape along the way.
Why you keep seeing it
There is usually a live question underneath a sighting like this. Someone in your life needs more presence than they are asking for out loud, and the number keeps catching you near it. Note where it ends, on the 6: care for the people who depend on you.

Your assignment when 1896 shows up

Is 1896 a good sign?
It is a message about attention, and it says nothing final about your future. A number can point at a beginning, a warning, or a closing chapter, and none of those are automatically good or bad. What matters is what you do with the pattern it names.
Does seeing 1896 mean my wish will come true?
No, and reading it that way tends to make people passive. The honest use of a repeating number is noticing what you were thinking about when it appeared, then making an actual decision yourself.
Is 1896 connected to my Life Path number?
The two work at different levels. A sighting is about attention in the present. Your core numbers come from your full name and date of birth, and they describe the architecture underneath.
