While we're at it, the insanity of those "recovery questions", made even worse when many companies demand the same ones.

but you can type anything in the recovery box.

its just three additional passwords.

should you type the same brother name in each time? should you even answer with a name?

don't get me wrong, they were insane, but they can be repurposed.

Good luck remembering what you put there when asked 10 years later.

		Yeah, many do not even allow you to enter in a custom question, which would be marginally better--at least for users who care about security. Then you'd have the option to craft a question which is (A) personally memorable (B) specifically phrased to avoid ambiguity, (C) not public or guessable, and (D) unique to a service. * "Where is your first pet buried?" * "While on vacation, The Noodle Incident happened in which city?" * In what year did you first see Example Band live in concert along with Alice and Bob?"
