Re: security questions

Security questions are the big thing now. Everybody is demanding that
I reveal private information to them in clear text.

This is where your view is wrong. Security questions don't demand true
answers. To the question, "what's the name of your dog?", would you
really tell the name of your dog? Use anything _but_ the name of your
dog. View this as a password prompt, where you can choose the prompt
message.

naturally he does not employ security.
