Pardon the title, but what is your opinion on account security measures, be it phone numbers, backup e-mails, recovery questions, etc. Do you use them? What have you found to be reliable? What do you think is a waste of time/energy? Do you think your accounts are safe with how you've set them? Discuss.
I think that recovery questions cover me most of the time, since I hate giving away info like phone numbers because some corporation tells me it'll make me "safer". The question I usually use is "how old were you when you lived at the green house?", which is by far the most ingenious recovery question I've ever come up with; impossible for anyone but me to even gander a guess. :p
(by the way, it's not an integer, so don't bother trying hax kthx ;D)
