Stupid Security Questions
Apple now wants 3 stupid security questions and a super secret 'recovery' email address - which can't be my real email address because that's my Apple ID.
Who are the jerks who make up these questions that 'everybody knows'? I don't remember who my first teacher was, where my folks met, or care at all about the car I liked the least.
How about - what was the most mediocre, least memorable event in your life and what was the date it happened?

- mikehoward 14y agoThis is a new iTunes app store requirement. Gmail won't help
- sohn 14y agoI guess you have to use iTunes to sync your iPhone, so use Android. You don't have to thank me.
- c250d07 14y agoI believe he means using your gmail address allows you to use youremail+itunesrecoveryemail@gmail.com and it will appear to be a different email to iTunes. You could also use hotmail/lives 'disposable' emails to achieve the same ends.
- thejteam 14y agoYou dont't have to actually answer the question. Use a secret code word. If Apple will let you, use the same code word for all three answers. In fact that's even more secure because a person who knows you well might know the answer to a question about you. Might not be able to guess what is essentially a second password.
