A new feature in version 1.2 is a means to recover a forgotten password when you enter a password recovery question and answer to that question. The thing to remember about this feature is that it will not help you recover a password prior to version 1.2 because you could not enter a question and answer until 1.2. This also means you need to take the time to enter a question and answer in version 1.2.

To add a password recovery and answer, go to Settings -> Password Settings and click on the button Change Password and Hint. After you enter your existing password you then are asked to select a new password (the old one will work if you like that password), enter a Hint and then enter a recovery question and answer.

Understand that having a question and answer is like having a second password. Also understand that you are giving a person the ability to figure out your password. That is how Sarah Palin’s email account was hacked. The hacker used the build in Yahoo password recovery question and answer with a bit of social engineering to answer her question and then reset her password. Don’t let that happen to you.

Pick a question that only you can answer.

I broke what bone?
Where did I catch my first fish?
Who was the first girl that kissed me? (This was a blast from the past!)
