Maryland's health care exchange site asking weird, personal questions: ‘Where were you when you had your first kiss?’
Visitors to the Maryland health care exchange site may find themselves being asking some unusual questions, like where they were on Setpember 11, 2001, and what was the name of their first stuffed animal.
Local affiliate WBAL was first to report that some residents were complaining of the unusual questions, which appear as part of the sign-up process for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Yahoo News was able to confirm those reports during a walk-through of the site’s enrollment process.
After providing personal information, including one’s Social Security number, individuals are asked three personal security questions.
On first glance, the questions are typical for sites that have security protocols in place to help protect people from identity theft, or to help them regain access to a site if they’ve lost their password or username.
But when someone scrolls down among the suggested security questions, a number of odd choices pop up.
“What was the name of your first stuffed animal?”
“Where were you when you had your first kiss?”
“What is the first name of the boy or girl that you first kissed?”
“What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?”

Too bad I’m one of the “I SHALL NOT COMPLY” radicals.
My answer would be “With your Mama!”
Seems legit.

At the grocery store where I bought them of course.

Best comment: my mother kissed me with in a few seconds of my birth, doesn’t everyone’s?
It is, indeed creepy. The first three numbers of the number indicate your state, territory, etc. For example, if your number is 580, you're a Virgin Islander. Other numbers apparently indicate your age
was where were you when you fist had sex on the next page?
What they are doing is analyzing your typing at the computer. They can "find you" via this little trick.
If not, it soon will be.
11 years old at a birthday party; got tackled by a girl who laid on on me.
TNC = too numerous to count
And they have puppies!
Geez, folks... They’re just some password-recovery questions.
Some sites verify identity using the credit reporting agencies. They know quite a bit about us.
Nah, but he is blind! :)
Apart from the fixation on kissing, selecting from a choice of secuity questions is nothing new. You select the question(s) and provide or make up answers as you see fit. If you forget your password and need to reset it just answer one or more of the questions with the answer you originally provided.
It is very creepy. I had the same experience with FEMA after Sandy. They definitely have some weird records about us all. And think, I never had a driver’s license or owned property, but still they knew stuff.
“What was the name of your first stuffed animal?”
That would be my puppy that go run over.
“Where were you when you had your first kiss?”
The drug store, doesn’t Hersheys make great candy?
“What is the first name of the boy or girl that you first kissed?”
Sorry I have never dated a transgender
“What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?”
I don’t recall the name of the house owner, but he was out of town so we figured what the heck.
‘Where were you when you had your first kiss?’
I’ve never been kissed.
What was the name of your first stuffed animal?
I’ll let you know when I finish my taxidermy class.
What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?
I’m not married.
In what city did you live in 1977?
I’ve always lived in the country.
See...this is easy.
In my mother’s arms right after being born, hopefully.
