    Everyone knows that most of the websites prompt their users to select security question, so that in case you forget your password, you can easily reset it.

    Thanks for the info Ceyfer. Something like this is why I don't give any personal info to FB, or any other public forum, that isn't already public information.

    Thanks for the heads up Ceyfer .
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.
