Great! TransUnion, whom I have the pleasure of receiving free credit monitoring from due to the MGM Casino breach in Sept, has a policy of only allowing 15 characters or less. Not like anything important is on the line or anything. Oh, they get bonus points for letting me skip the password with a trivial security question! #InfoSec #NotAFeature @boblord @thorsheim

@chetwisniewski @boblord 1) do not use security questions. :)2) if you use a pwd.manager, use that to generate & remember random pwds as answers to security questions3) if a service provider uses security questions, tell them to stop using them.4) Recommending them a little bit of MFA, in particular WebAuthn/passkeys, is a good idea.5) Tell them using security questions is close to negligence, if not gross negligence, of recommended practices & standards today.
