Researchers fault 3-D Secure (3DS) online credit card system http://bit.ly/a1ygc6 (PC World) I have never been a fan of birthday-based and "secret-question"-based systems. Birthday data is widely available, and many "secret" questions tend to have answers that are more widely available than one might think. I usually suggest that when there's a concern, secret questions should be answered with anything memorable other than the "real" answer. After all, is it really necessary to tell your bank that your first dog's name was: Harrison Garrison Bobble T. Bee Cornelius Aurelius Rover McGee Daniel Nathanial Hooligan Flea Horowitz Huntington Climber McTree Snooper O'Flarity Jumper Kerplop Harrington Arrington Thadius Hop Hopperty Hoppity Archibald Bame ( "The Dog That Went to Yale" - Jim Copp ) Disturbingly, when I suggest this approach, the response I often get is, "You mean I really don't have to enter the real answer?" --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
