Re: And service providers...
What you choose to tell service providers is your mother's maiden name can be a secret.
Am I the only one suffering from password reset angst?
My reasoning is this: They ask these silly questions because it is their only way to reset my password. I.e. if I forget my mother's maiden name, my account details will be lost forever and an ogre will eat my dwelling.
Of course I have tried supplying smarty pants responses to those stupid questions. And of course those smarty pants responses are completely forgotten one week later.
I am much more comfortable with 2FA. As long as I don't forget my mobile phone anywhere.
