[...] I agree entirely with this point. One thing I like to do with such questions is invent answers to them, such as an entirely fictitious "favorite sports team." This of course is little help for security (but it beats something you might mention on your blog, at least) and no help for usability (even if you use the same answer everywhere you still have to memorize it just as you would a password), but it's a fun tip for those of us whose minds run that way. - Drew _______________________________________________ This is the BayCHI Discussions mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription options, or to unsubscribe, visit http://baychi.org/mailman/listinfo/discussions
