But I've always wondered just how secure this "password" is. Recalling Eric Hughes statement that "cryptography is all economics," and realizing that someone with an unlimited budget could probably scrounge that info after some effort -- just how much effort would it take? And how secure is "mom's maiden name" as a password for obtaining sensitive information over the phone?
