Security or Challenge Questions help verify you are who you say you are. They should be easy enough for you to answer but hard enough for no one to guess … unless they have been following you on Facebook!
Here are some of the more common ones:
- What is the name of your first pet?
- What was your childhood phone number?
- What was the name of your first-grade teacher?
- What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?
- What is your favorite movie?
- What was your favorite food as a child?
If these questions seem familiar, it’s probably because they are also common Quiz questions that people share on Facebook. These quizzes seem harmless and fun but the answers can be used by bad actors gathering information about you, your family, and your company.
BEWARE! Have fun reading everyone else’s Quiz answers but don’t offer your own.
