I lost a bunch of email addresses because they decided to start enforcing the use of security answers even when I had the correct password. Then I lost some more email accounts because I logged in from different locations (I moved) and they thought I was a fraud, even though I was able to confirm using the backup email address. I'm fairly concerned that eventually I'm going to lose all my email addresses due to these increasingly draconian requirements that are sprung upon us.

>due to these increasingly draconian requirements that are sprung upon us. I'm all for improving authentication, but it's profoundly annoying when authentication requirements are not made clear before logging in. For a user with a password manager, forcing a user to answer "security questions" will compromise UX at best, and reduce overall security at worst.
