Here are some questions that we're considering (along with the other usual
suspects), but haven't yet adopted.  3 correct answers would be required:

What was your favorite place to visit as a child?
What is your favorite book or magazine?
What is the full name of a childhood friend?
What is the name of the first school you attended?
Who is your favorite actor, musician, artist?

Thanks,
Harry

 Just wondering what questions other Universities are using that have
deployed a self service password reset portal?  How many questions do you
require students to answer in order to reset their passwords?  And any other
relevant insight and wisdom would be appreciated as well.





Thanks,

Brian
