Google Study Shows Security Questions Aren’t All That Secure
-
TechCrunch[^]:
What is your favorite food? What was your first teacher’s name? What’s the name of your first pet? Do those questions sound familiar to you? If they do, it’s probably because you either have really boring and repetitive conversations or you’ve answered them as security questions when you signed up for a new account somewhere. They’re meant to provide an extra layer of security, but according to a new study by Google’s security team, they aren’t all that secure.
You mean you know what my dogs name is!? :cool:

They are not at all secure (already said) and at the same time they are not at all a good user-experience. They always annoy the heck out of me. For me Google has tried their best to create the worst user-experience. Facebook also has the same thing. Even the lion in the picture[^] collection is pissed off. Yesterday I was using a website, where when I tried to post a comment... They had this recaptcha thing. Recaptcha asked me how many pictures are of "Sushi[^]". I mean... I don't know what a Sushi is (never ate it), so would that make me a robot also. :sigh:
The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

Must have been an older version of recaptcha. The most recent one doesn't really require any user interaction any longer, except for checking a checkbox: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html[^]

Nope. It was this new (most) recent version of recaptcha with a square box to click, upon clicking it I was provided a pop up to select the favorite dish and then the tick mark showed up to state I am not a robot. :sigh: Dumb Google!

Hm. Hadn't experienced that yet. Maybe you failed clicking the box? :laugh:

Maybe I didn't click it well. ;P Maybe I had to first hover over, then put my finger over left button then... Uh, never mind. :laugh:

I've read about that version a few times; but I'm still always getting the 'help googlemaps by transcribing house numbers for us' version.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I don't know, I can't see it. If it actually contains adult content, it needs voluntarily deleted or abuse flagged out of the insider forum.
