Security questions are already useless. What's my first pet's name? Depending on the day, I might have any of three or four answers; I'm unlikely to remember which pet was first, 30-35 years ago, even if I think I can, since if you ask me in a month, I might be just as confident the other way! Given the uncertainty, I might well decide that the best answer is a later pet I remember better, but then which one is that? I remember the names of exactly two teachers from high school, today, but only because I was discussing something about them with someone else who remembered over Christmas. My mother's maiden name is spelled differently on her birth certificate and death certificate, so I can't tell which one future me might use after forgetting a password. Recently, I've noticed a trend of having 6 or 8 fixed security questions to choose 2 or 3 from, none of which actually apply to me in a reliable way. There's really no other solution but to treat them as an additional password field.
