   It is interesting that starting last week I'm no longer asked any of the
security questions when I log in from the same host as before. I'm not
convinced that this provides sufficient security, but there's nothing I can
do about it. I would prefer that they send a 6-digit number to my cell phone
each time I log in and have me enter that number to verify it's me.

   As some former president said, "trust ... but verify."
