It's only stupid until you get hacked. Then all of a sudden it's a huge deal! <grin> I had my email get hacked and had to jump through hoops and finally called my provider who asked me 3 of the security questions I had long ago forgot but knew the answers. Then he opened my account and read me the password and asked if that was my pass word. He could tell by the sound of my voice that I had never heard that password before. He changed it for me and said it happens all the time because people won't change passwords every 30 days or so. They think it's a bother to them until they get nailed then it's a big deal. I had to agree with him. So I change my passwords every 30 days. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A. Gallegos" <[email protected]>

While I respect your opinion, I disagree with you saying that it is stupid. The security questions are done to protect you from your Apple ID being hijacked.

You can't evade it, and one answer isn't enough; you have to answer all of

None for that and let it go. And once, when I had a new device, (and this
is your current position, you're starting with a new device, new to the
appstore account at least; )but I got asked the stupid question, said None, and it was good enough. The store will ask two of the four randomly as you add or change devices; and coming back to it means it will have picked two
different ones.  Good job as I'd forgot how I answered one of them.

So keep answers to a simple and obvious word, it is still specific to you.
First place of employment for example, least favourite teacher,  just the
name without the rest is plenty.

I think you should just do it,  you'll be nagged until you do.

Hi, all.

Using the iPhone 5 here. I'm hoping someone has a solution to this problem.

I'm trying to download apps from the app store.  These are free apps like
Color ID, iMove, etc.  I've set up my apple ID, password and security
question on my PC, but when I try downloading anything from the app store
while using the iPhone, I'm taken to a page where I can choose a security
question and type in the answer and/or set up a rescue email address. The only options I have at this screen are Not Now and Continue. Double tapping Not now takes me back to the App store and if I double tap the Free Button or Install App button, the process starts over again with me being back in
the security screen.

Continue takes me into the page where I'm supposed to provide security
questions and answers.

Thing is, I have already set up my Apple ID, password, rescue Email and one security question on my PC. I thought the changes made to my account would
be the same regardless of whether I'm using an iPhone or my PC.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA for the help

Lisa
