I recently had occasion to amend my Paypal account. Two of the 'secret' questions were;- "Your mother's maiden name?" and "Your father's first name?". There are a lot of members who give this info quite freely when allowing access of their tree to total strangers!

JUST BE CAREFUL —be aware that there's a lot of dodgy people out there and the less info you give 'em the better! Maybe it would be better if the 'secret' questions' had secret answers, eh?
