Agreed. I really dislike the "security question" feature a lot of sites force you to enter. In my opinion they make my account much less secure than it would be without this feature. There are plenty of people around who know my email address and have the means to find out my mother's maiden name, or what car I first had or whatever ridiculous information I'm forced to provide to "secure" my account.


These shouldn't be genuine answers. Put your grandmothers maiden name instead of your mothers, your first car could be Apollo 11.
