FabSwingers.com forum: Idiotic Security Questions

I recently had to sign up to a web service, and they asked me to set some answers to security questions so that I could recover my account if I forget my password. I had to choose 3 out of 5, and the questions were:

1. The name of your favourite teacher?

2. The location of your favourite memory?

3. Your favourite fictional character?

4. A place you've always wanted to go, but have never been?

5. Your ambition?

I found these questions almost impossible to answer. I could think of a place that I've always wanted to go, but I'm not sure that I would come up with the same answer if they asked me again in 6 months time. For the rest of the questions I was completely at a loss. I hated all my teachers equally, I don't rank memories or fictional characters from best to worst, and I've never had an ambition.

Obviously, I don't want you all to post your own answers, but I would like to know if I'm the only person that has difficulty with these questions.

Would you be able to come up with answers to all of them? Would you be able to accurately remember those answers in 6 months time?

Just pick places and names that mean something and you know you'll remember. They're not going to interrogate you to check if you REALLY have always wanted to go to Cleethorpes, nor ask for evidence that your favourite memory occured in Chelmsford (behind the bins).

"Just pick places and names that mean something and you know you'll remember."

That's the problem, I can't think of a place that I will definitely remember the next time they ask. I could pick one of the he towns I've lived in, but there no guarantee that up remember which one I picked if I ever do need to answer any of these questions.

Just pick where you were born and where you live now?
