Story time: I couldn& #39;t log into my staff email today, and I tried out a million different passwords for ages but it just. wouldn& #39;t. work. So I lodged a ticket with IT, and they gave me instructions on what to do, but it still wasn& #39;t accepting my password.
So I called up IT and the kind man on the phone took me through each step until we got to the problem and he said he& #39;d have to change my password for me. But he needed some ID first, he wasn& #39;t going to change my password without making sure it was actually me. Reasonable.
So you know the challenge questions you have to put in when changing passwords, like "who was ur first grade teacher?" or "what& #39;s your mother& #39;s maiden name?" well I& #39;d set my challenge question to be "If you could meet someone from history, who would it be?". The IT man asks me
that question to verify it& #39;s me and I was like
?????I honestly have no clue??????I don& #39;t even remember setting that question??????
So I um-ed and squirmed for like 15 seconds because the dude was totally thinking I was trying to hack someone& #39;s account until he finally asked

me the alternate challenge question (my first teacher& #39;s name) and I got that right.
Then he& #39;s like "the answer to the historical figure question was Jamie Fraser. Who& #39;s that guy?" And, fucking mortified, I replied, "oh just a fictional character hahahahaha thanksforyourhelpbye".
