Every individual who has online accounts to access services or applications invariably has had to establish answers to security questions. We logon to a new bank account, social media service, or check out via our favorite online paid service, and we are required to enter initial responses to security questions. The purpose of these questions is to periodically re-affirm our identity, or to regain access if we forget our password, by providing our personal secret answers.
How To Crack Hotmail Secret Question
The threat of common security questions is comparable to reusing passwords. Security pros, and end users, should know they should never reuse a password across accounts. This is because, if one account is compromised, the password is no longer secret and is associated with your credentials/identity and could be used for future attacks against any account you own that has the same (or similar) usernames. When passwords are re-used across dozens of accounts, the compromise of just one account could potentially lead to the compromise of all the other un-related accounts and ultimately your identity.
Online services, such as Facebook, Gmail, Microsoft Hotmail, Twitter, and Yahoo, have set up password recovery systems. Often, passwords can be reset or sent to you by answering a secret question or providing the e-mail address used to register the service. If you cannot recover your password using the services provided by the company, contact the company with additional suggestions or consider abandoning the online account.
New BlackBerry owners can also set up a BlackBerry.net email account through their wireless provider. At the bottom of the list of providers, you'll see an option to create a new address. You'll be prompted to choose an address, password, and secret question.
I am sorry to say that the above article is ill-advised and is contrary to its heading. My yahoo account was hacked about an year ago and still I am unable to get it back. The hacker had already changed the password and secret questions, and so my email is not in my control. Whenever, I tried the proceedure to recover, they asked me the first question/step as:Step #1 - enter your passwordorStep #1 - Change your password
The agency has circumvented or cracked much of the encryption, or digital scrambling, that guards global commerce and banking systems, protects sensitive data like trade secrets and medical records, and automatically secures the e-mails, Web searches, Internet chats and phone calls of Americans and others around the world, the documents show.

Hi. My hotmail account has been blocked. When I tried to recover they are telling me that the answer to my security question is incorrect and they cannot verify that I am the user. I have had this account since 1994. How am I suppose to remember everything info I used to open the account. This sucks.
This morning i was able to get on my hotmail accoun but now i can not acces it and it says it is blocked. I dont remeber the sercuity question,the account i used to open this one is no longer in use and i dont have a phone attached to this account.But this account has alot of important stuff on it and i am waiting for important emails such as College application replys!please if some one can help me i will be extremely grateful!i have tried everything.
Okay so my hotmail account was hacked, as i could see that i got a number of replys back from my contacts on hotmail saying why did i send them a website. it has been a day since it was hacked and yeah maybe my fault for not reseting the password but i thought i didnt need to. first time it happend. Now im blocked. Assaignments due on monday and they decide to block my account because of someone else and then ask me security questions that i have no idea how to answer due to the fact that i had the same account for several years (over 8 years), through my school years as well. this is so frustrating! if i lose this account i will cry! and then complain. Just now i recieved an email tellign me they will take 24hours to review my answers and then if they can verify it is me they will send me a link to reset. oh im scared now. and im not a happy bunny! x

Hello,my hotmail account has been blocked and i tried to reset the password using alternative email and the security question but it didnot work!!!!should i wait 24 hours till it work?!!!! or what it else i can do? please help
try account.live.com and try to reset password when you get to the part that ask for email reset link, secret question and/or customer support. the customer support link allows you to have link sent to a different email address. Good luck that worked for me ? 2ff7e9595c
