Password reminders: hard to remember, but easy to hack

Forgetting which password you used for a rarely used shopping site can be a pain, one that's often made worse by the fallback authentication method. If you're like me, you're often stumped by which of your past pets you considered your favorite two years ago, or whether you put a "the" in front of your favorite sports franchise when first registering. Those sorts of failures should be worth it, since they add an extra layer of security to the password recovery process.


Except they don't.
