Here is a worse one:
> What is the make of your first car?
The number of relatively common car makers is really low, and when you factor in the fact that most people don't get a really high-end car as their first car, 5 or 6 makers are going to cover a really high percentage (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, and Honda would cover most, I'd guess). If you factor in make AND model, we're still talking in the low hundreds of possibilities.
Good security questions are really, really hard to come up with and should, IMHO, really only be used as an addition to a password - not as a way around one.
- troymc 14y agoFor the same reason, this one is awful: What is your favourite colour? (There are lots of colour names, but most people will stick to the most common ten or so.)

- jtheory 14y agoIf you're clued in on security, you can certainly use the fields to enter unrelated answers. A random 20 characters would be better than Winston Churchill. But it probably goes without saying that if following the instructions (and putting in an actual answer...) makes you insecure, the model is broken.
