I was changing my AIM name because I've had problems with somebody who has my current name and the AIM name form asked me to answer a security question in case I forget my password.
The potential questions that I could answer?
Favorite song?
Favorite Movie?
and so on.
They are worried that I will forget my password but that I won't forget what my favorite song was on May 31st 2006? Because I'm not sure I've had a consistanat favorite song, movie, or book that lasted more than a year ever...
I think I'd have a better shot at remembering the password.
so the security question I picked was:
What city were you born in?
Which of course has one consistant answer. But then how secure is that? Everybody who knows me in real life knows where I was born. Heck every person who ever passed the hospital where I was born within a 3 mile radius of my parents knows where I was born and the room number and the doctors name because after I was born they never again passed the hospital without telling the story of my birth in vivid detail.
I used to devise elaborate routs to avoid the hospital whenever we had my friends in the car.
So my question for the day? Do you have a consistant favorite song, movie, book... ect that you would be able to remember 5 years from now if you forgot your AIM or Messanger password?
