  Don't many sites require them?

    Yes but the parent is telling you, as a developer, don't use them. Personally, I'll make up a fake answer (e.g. What's your favorite pizza topping? A:338192). Just make it something reasonably short as you might have to repeat it to a live customer service agent.

  You mean asking me my mother's maiden name or what school I went to isn't bullet proof?!
  • dhimes 10y ago
    The problem is that people give the right answers. Mother's maiden name? Mozilla. School? Mio Fit.

      Weird. My mother's maiden name is AjhuZ52nzFyDXDom4h8Vw01 and my school is 3zJi&MsGpSHf%z$GbDW!ngs7
