Stupid Security Questions

4 pointsby mikehowardabout 13 years ago
Apple now wants 3 stupid security questions and a super secret 'recovery' email address - which can't be my real email address because that's my Apple ID.<p>Who are the jerks who make up these questions that 'everybody knows'? I don't remember who my first teacher was, where my folks met, or care at all about the car I liked the least.<p>How about - what was the most mediocre, least memorable event in your life and what was the date it happened?

You dont't have to actually answer the question. Use a secret code word. If Apple will let you, use the same code word for all three answers.<p>In fact that's even more secure because a person who knows you well might know the answer to a question about you. Might not be able to guess what is essentially a second password.

Use Gmail. You don't have to thank me.
