Yeah. So I don’t have a pet, nevermind. Besides how does one figure out what their pet’s favorite color is anyway. Security questions that most website rely on to retreive lost usernames/passwords are retarded. I mean, most questions don’t apply to me and they don’t let me choose a security question I’d like to have myself.

Probably everyone knows about Palin’s email being compromised. Maybe not many know how. A hacker simple clicked on the forgot password link, and sat there figuring out where she met her fiance and what school she went to. In today’s day and age, there questions are easily answered. Between Wikipedia and facebook and most people pets, schools and practically their entire life history is there for everyone to read. An someone like Palin, who has been in Alaska, oh wait, probably never gone outside of Wasilla her whole life, security questions are a few minutes of guesswork. So what’s the point of strong password generators and software that charges you to keep track of them, when you have weak workarounds to get by them.

The solution you ask. I don’t know! But maybe email my temp password to a secondary email, let users personalize the questions, etc etc. Maybe you have better ideas.
