Am I cynical or do these always seem like weird ploys to get your personal information?
That's exactly what they are! PEOPLE, STOP SHARING THE ANSWERS TO YOUR SECURITY QUESTIONS!!!
Who's security question is their maternal grandmother's first name? Surely anyone that knows you personally has pretty open access to that information.
No security question ever asked my grandmother's name. Grandfather yes, but not grandmother.
Sure no problem. My password is "secret"
Wait what?
The next one will have you use your childhood friends first name with your fathers first car make and model
Your name after the robot uprising is your mother's maiden name and the 3 digits on the back of your credit card

Heheh
That's why I always slightly obfuscate the info. I gave my grandmother's initials not her actual name. No real use in giving up what is effectively 3 random letters.
