When it comes to website security questions, this pilot fish has a bad attitude — and that’s “bad” spelled P-R-A-C-T-I-C-A-L. “When they let me write my own questions, I write stuff like ‘Top line of the Spanish text on the control box of the computer speakers,'” says fish. “It’s easy enough for me to find that answer — just look down and read it — but unless you’re in my house or know exactly what speakers I bought five years ago, you aren’t gonna get it. “Otherwise, I usually type in nonsense, because I don’t forget my passwords. “Then sometimes the company has a security breach, locks every affected account and says, ‘You’ll need to reset your password using your security questions.’ “I’ve been locked out of my 401(k) for about a year, and their support keeps saying there’s nothing they can do. Whatever — I won’t need it for a while.” …But Sharky really needs your true tale of IT life right now. So send me your story at [email protected]. You’ll snag a snazzy Shark shirt if I use it.
