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?”

Good grief... it’s a standard password recovery technique. But, but, but... nothing.
Brilliant!
The nicest thing Progressives will ever get from me is ridicule.
Wha...? Fist had sex?
You don’t suppose this would be anything like the same questions you would use as security questions do you? Keys to the kingdom and someone wouldn’t even have to hack their site.
Alone with Mary Palmer and her five lovely daughters.......
I suppose it’s fun to gin up alarm and outrage at this.
but that’s being disingenuous.
This is a SECURITY Q&A. The system doesn’t CARE what the answer is. and NOBODY’s checking.
Put down MINNIE MOUSE or KIM JUNG IL for your first kiss!
Put down “LIBERAL-SHOOFLY”
Anything.
Just pick something you can remember and that would be unlikely to be guessed or “social engineered” by reading your FaceBook or possibly known by an acquaintance that would try to access your account.
Sigh
ohhh noooo... first, First, FIRST!!! damn spell checker
Bump
Alone?
Even Hans Solo had a Wookie.
I for one have nothing to hide. Here, NSA monitors, are my answers to those burning national security and healthcare questions:
“What was the name of your first stuffed animal?”
N/A — Heterosexual male.
“Where were you when you had your first kiss?”
At summer camp when I was 12.
“What is the first name of the boy or girl that you first kissed?”
Vicky. She was from Chicago, like Dear Leader.
“What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?”
The back yard.
Hope this helped, and I for one appreciate all the vital work you and the Ivy League social engineers do for America and the world. It’s why we are all in such good shape. Keep it up.
> Wha...? Fist had sex?
You don't want to know the answer. Trust me on this. You. Do. Not. Want. To. Know.
:)
Yeah, sure, sure.
Right.
(snicker)
you're right, if it is answered, i DON'T want to know the answer to that question... damn
Because it’s database is hooked into multiple other databases like the DMV records of every car ever registered to you and your credit score / banking databases that pretty much know every place you’ve ever lived.
Obamacare is NSA spying on steriods.
