FabSwingers.com forum: Security Question

Why isn't there a security question to obtain your password? Someone hacked my email account, emailed fabswingers saying they forgot the password and it was given to them.

Our pics were then put on Facebook. You need to protect us more

Lots of people can't even remember their password. We have to strike a compromise between security and being pragmatic. If we had a security question it would result in more people getting locked out of their account.

If your email account gets hacked, many of your accounts at many sites will be at risk. Solution: Use a secure email provider like googlemail, use a strong unique password and don't let anyone know your security question (which is, ironically, how many hotmail accounts are hacked!)
