Security questions...?
Hey folks,
I just searched for this and nowt came up, so here goes:
I just tried to install Google Chrome on my iPad and it came up with the old 'increase your level of security and select 3 questions and their answers' thing. Previousy, I have completely ignored it because I have a password that no-one is likely to figure out and I'm never going to forget it.
This time, though, it wouldn't let me install the app And it is insisting that I do this questions thing. So I thought OK, the usuall rubbish - mother's maiden name etc. But no. They want really personal stuff, like my first film in the cinema, my dog's name, best friend at primary school.... What the hell??
Is it normal for them to ask for such personal information?? Sounds more like a phishing scam - or at least, if THEIR security gets compromised, phishing scams could be directed to me more easily (and the rest of the population).
I have to say, I haven't completed the procedure, and won't - at least until I learn more about it.
Does anyone else have experience with this?
Cheers
