Hm, the type of some of these questions resemble the type of the personal questions used for password recovery by some companies. As a paranoid person, I am reluctant to disclose this information to unknown people.

But you should never give the correct answer for password recovery.

What is a belief you had as a child that you no longer have?

Purple Ocean.

And that can be your answer for all the questions: first pet name, elementary school, and so on.

Exactly. You're supposed to use your password manager to generate a second password and use that as your answer. I know this sounds stupid but it is the only way to stay safe.

The only problem with this is if you have to read it to someone live. Otherwise, yes!

i've heard stories of call centers accepting "oh, i don't remember, i just typed a bunch of random letters and numbers" as confirmation over the phone.

Very good idea!

You already started the discussion :)

Ah, for me it was cosmic-deflect-attitude. I really struggled with it in my teenage years.

How could that possibly be a password recovery question? A password recovery question should only have one correct answer.

Yep. Not to mention sharing your true opinions on deep/intimate topics to strangers is generally a terrible idea especially on camera.

Also, these types of posts make me wonder what the goals of the project are. Is the intent here to gather data and sell it? Gather users and sell the company? I don't believe in saints. I don't believe in the "don't be evil" mantra.

For all the talk about privacy and anonymity, seems many here want to give away their privacy and anonymity.
