Got very irritated at work recently by their selection of verification questions for asking for a password reset. Amongst the questions was name of my paternal grandfather. I've absolutely no idea of the names of either of my grandfathers, one died in the 1920's, I believe of malaria contracted whilst fighting in Mesopotamia during WWI, the other died from a mine dropped on a railway station during WWII. He was on Home Guard duty at the time. Nor did I know my grandmothers, one died when I was a toddler the other when I was 11, I sort of knew her but I've no idea what her name was. Am I alone in thinking this a completely unreasonable question to be asked for a password reset at work ?
