Domain theft is rampant.
Thanks to mostly Chinese cyberthieves wanting to steal your 10-digit domains that begin with 8888, or your XYQJ “junk letter” .coms, your domains are in danger.
Two-factor authentication is important to have but not all domain registrars provide it.
In cases where two-factor authentication is not available, the next best thing is strong security questions.
When you need to reset your password, it’s important to be able to respond to questions only you know.
Questions such as “what is your pet’s name” and “where were you born” are very easy to crack, given time and some social engineering.
If you’re able to define the questions to be answered, you’re in good hands.
Here are the top 10 security questions to use, in order to reset your domain registrar password.
- What was the name of your imaginary friend as a 5 year old?
- How old were you when you gave up becoming potty trained?
- What was your ex wife’s / husband’s least favorite position in bed?
- The number of days you spent at your shortest employment before getting fired
- At what age did you first swore to give up smoking / drinking?
- What is the middle name of your mom’s least favorite friend?
- The last name of the first priest who touched you with an over-fatherly manner during confessional
- What was the name of the pet you returned to the adoption center due to flatulation?
- What was the first movie with full frontal nudity you watched with someone?
- The number of times you almost killed your boss for micro-managing you
