A few weeks ago, one of my online bank sites tightened up security and said that I needed to supply extra security answers in case I forget my password and need to restore access. Oh crap! I have enough trouble keeping track of passwords and now it's extra questions time.
Mother and father's middle name? No problem - that hasn't changed in 90 years.
Favorite color? Who cares? At my age I don't have very many favorites of anything. Most things I just tolerate or don't give a rat's behind about.
Favorite - food? restaurant? singer? band? song? TV show? movie? yadda, yadda, yadda. Just a bunch of canned questions that I'll never remember any of the answers given.
Where are the real questions, like -- favorite handgun, best ride you've ever owned, favorite internet forum, number of teeth in your dentures, years of military service, branch of service, etc.
Oh...right. The online questions were made up by some 25 year old geek who has no clue as to what real life is all about. Of course he remembers his favorite high school teacher from 10 years ago. Just wait another 40 years and he won't even remember who he took to the senior prom.
