I hate security questions

Posted by vinhboy on Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 in Rant.

Whoever invented, or have implemented a security question should be brought out in a public square and hung.

Man F$@K you.

I do not want have a favorite food, I did not have a childhood pet, I don’t know the names of any of my teachers, and I have no idea where I was born.

So again, F@#K YOU!

As a developer, if anyone asked me to implement a security question, I will quit on the spot. Because that’s a clear sign the company knows NOTHING about usability.

Why am I pissed? I just called ATT. They REFUSED to look at my account and turn on my internet because I didn’t know who my favorite singer was. I told them to type in “f*ck you”, because that’s what I usually type whenever I get one of those.

Damn I am so pissed. What pissed me off even more is that there is actually a company out there that will literally RESET your password if you know the answer to the security question. WTF?? Why do we even have a password if a dumb security question could overwrite it?

Man F*ck the Developer and UX engineer team that makes security questions. Are you f*cking retarded???

    I’m with you. There are actually more security breaches due to ‘Security Questions’ than hacked or ‘easy’ passwords. It is one of the worst and most abused security practices.

    I totally agree. I just hate how so many websites have them now… I hate them with a vengence
