I agree that the true-to-life reminder questions are probably an outdated model. However there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the maiden name question. There is no server-side code checking in with your mother or running her middle name against a federal database, you can enter whatever you want in the box. Surely people who are savvy enough to be trading in Bitcoin realize this.
- michaelt 14y agoHowever there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the maiden name question. Asking users to enter their mother's maiden name, when you actually think they certainly shouldn't do that, then blaming your customers for having used their maiden name, seems like an odd way of doing it. If mother's maiden name isn't a good enough security question, stop asking it! And we all know it isn't a good enough security question.
