A recent study shows on the other hand that password recovery questions are usually answered honestly. Questions about the birth town, mother’s maiden name or first animal name can sometimes be easily guesses. The study asked acquaintances of 32 webmail users to guess the answer to the secret question. Roughly 20% of these answers were guessed correctly.

Password recovery questions should therefor not be answered honestly. Experienced users fill them out with password like characters which makes the answers more or less impossible to guess. These answers can then be stored in password managers as notes.

How do you handle password recovery questions?

You can simply add accounts while Gobo the account manager introduces himself, and once that’s done you can send tweets by simply typing out your tweet and selecting which account you want to submit it to. The cool thing is that you can send to multiple accounts, so you won’t have to type or copy paste messages multiple times.

The only negative thingI have found during my tweeting is that my messages tend to be delayed by about 3 minutes. This is not an error, you can see your tweet’s status being queued, I guess they just have too much traffic. I can live with that 3 minutes though, and although I don’t have multiple accounts yet, I will still use Matt for Twittering because of its design.
