Re: Everytime I see "Mother's maiden name" on the list of security question...
Ay, there's the rub.
These questions are a stupid "solution" to a practical problem - Passwords, and their (often moronic) implementation.
Case in point: My reasonably computer-literate parents already struggle with the idea of keeping separate complex passwords for every account they use - and they use far fewer than I do. Remembering said passwords is a lost cause.
I'm trying to get them used to the idea of a password manager, but they are more likely to use pen and paper, so the complexity of the password is going to suffer.
Want to bet how many people don't really have anyone with at least rudimentary understanding of computer security they could ask for advice?
