  1. Can we please kill Security Questions already? Logging in to an account I've had for >10 years w/ correct password, told I had to answer 3 security questions: 1. What is your favourite movie? 2. Where does your grandmother live? 3. First name of your favourite Fantasy author?

      I don't remember these things!!! What stupid questions! But also security questions in general make no sense: - Subjective thing like 'favourite' is liable to change and be forgotten - Facts are often easily known/discovered: "Where were you born"

        In this case I'm fine... because I COULD RESET THEM BY EMAIL In which case what's the fucking point? Just send me an email to confirm and I won't have to bother!

          Incidentally this isn't a security risk because I don't fucking know these anyway! Reset them anyway, generated random passphrases and noted down the questions in my password manager. A lot more secure and significantly more memorable🤷
