Forced to make useless security questions before I can download a app.

The thing is I already had security questions setup already but it will not let me download anything.

The questions were stupid and did not even apply to me like my first car when I don't even drive. Then I still had to put my password in again.

Why did it bug me I had good questions but I was forced to change them.

Is this a question or comment?

This has already been covered recently.

Apple has started requiring new security questions/answers.

As you say, the process is incredibly flawed. A lot of people won't be able to answer the questions and would have had better answers already.

I gave answers and have now most likely forgotten them.

 

[tonyr6]

The answers I gave them were only one short word anyway. Many of the questions did not even apply to me and I could not even type my own questions which before the change I was able to.

I agree that it was hard to find questions I could actually answer. Who was my first teacher?? That's so long in the past that I don't remember. Buddies? Say what?

I also notice I now have to put in my Apple password after an iCloud auto-backup. Hmmm.

I had to set these up a couple of days ago, and I think one of the ones I chose was "first car". Am I supposed to type the make? The model? Both? And if I ever need to answer the question again, will I type it the same way?

I answered the questions on my iPhone and took a screenshot so I could remember them, but I forgot about all the pieces that now work together. I was surprised and somewhat amused to see that screenshot displaying as one of the photos on my AppleTV screensaver.

That should not be happening. Try logging out of iCloud and back in or restart your phone.
