    Yeah, it’s a little silly if you end up on the phone having to say it to a service rep, but it’s better than what’s otherwise basically security theater.

      I once spent about five minutes explaining my email over the phone — which email has just a handful of letters, but in a weird sequence. Can’t imagine having to dictate a random password.

      Reminds me of the time when our office got corporate debit cards for everyone, and one dude had his security phrase be eight letters ‘Q’ (or more specifically, a sorta connective letter that can only be at the end of syllables in our language).

      I enjoy singing “oh ricky you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind hey ricky [clap clap] hey ricky [clap clap]” at the service rep and i told them that if i don’t sing it or clap that i have failed the security challenge.

      it’s the answer to what was the color of my first car.
