Can we stop pretending that "secret" security questions are secret, please?
- firefoxman1 17y agoI've always hated those "security" questions. They're extremely insecure. I try to answer them with something crazy, for example to the question "where were you born" I would answer "a little red planet" or "an island in the pacific". Security through obscurity.
- pasbesoin 17y ago"Security through obscurity". That sums it up. And obscurity is an increasingly scarce resource.
- furyg3 17y agoI have a friend that uses made-up answers, different for every site, and keeps a (secure) list of all of them. Her main concern wasn't that these were guessable, but instead that she doesn't like being required to give every little sign-up site more information than they need.
- balding_n_tired 17y agoRight, you can always lie, or give correct but misleading answers.
