Challenge Questions
I just had to sign up for an account on a website. As is becoming common these days, in addition to a user name and password, I had to choose two challenge questions so that there's an extra layer of security beyond my password. Unfortunately, I had to select my two questions from a list provided. Here are the choices that were available:
Name of your favorite movie character.
Name of your favorite TV character.
The person you most admired in high school.
Your least favorite food.
The destination city/town of your first airplane flight.
The destination city/town of your first train trip.
Your favorite childhood stuffed animal.
The city/town where your mother and father met.
Seriously?
I have to pick two of these and remember the right answer? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but none of these are questions that I have a quick and reproducible answer to.
If I have to use this absurd system, at least give me a few more options to choose from. Also, "least favorite food?" Really? Is that something that anyone consistently has in mind?
