I always thought the "Secret question" password recovery system of any website was often flawed. The questions they let you choose from are sometimes easier to guess than your password is. Mother's maiden name? First Pet's name? Favorite Teacher?

Jeez half the people I know could figure those out/search for it.

The worst is " City where you where born"

You could seriously just find that out from Facebook within ten seconds

You do realize that you don't have to hand your Facebook link to someone for them to gain access to it, right ?

Is it just me or is "Compromised" making anyone else think in military terms, such as shot and killed.

Agreed. I've seen a few websites with harder ones like "What was the city of your first kiss?" and stuff like that, but people that know you could pretty easily figure it out.

My bank has some really stuffty ones, like mothers middle name, favorite sports team, and things like that. The only decent one is what's your first car. But there's not a ton someone could do with my bank account online.

Nice bump.

Randomness · February 10, 2013, 05:46:23 PM

Not really that big of a bump.

The linked site also is from 2009 which is still possibly relevant or could be some wannabe script kiddie who took the RRA name.
