Yeah, this irked me too. There were only five choices for the first
security question -- two were publicly available knowledge, one had FIVE
correct answers, one was totally inapplicable, and one I couldn't remember.
I have no objection to security questions, but these were just ludicrous.
I've had other instances of security questions where the user was able to
create their OWN security question. I do not understand why Apple doesn't
simply do that. Or, like AT&T, you could add an additional layer of
security with a user-selected or even Apple-generated PIN of a few digits.

And no one said you have to give correct answers to those questions. Below I will give some possible answers.
Q: First car A: rHubarB3
Q: First teacher A: dks34@6#
Q: Best friend A: along came spider, and sat down beside her
Q: First kiss A: None of your beezwax*&421
Of course you need to have a password vault app to keep the answers in. As long as your reply to the question with the answer you provided when you set them up, there is nothing that says they have to be truthful or correct or even relate in anyway to the question. They just have to correspond and match what you set them up as.

Its obvious that some young 20 YOs made up these stupid questions….
First car: hmmm, was it that 63 VW or the 61 bug eye sprite?
First Teacher: that was 60 years ago, are you kidding me?
Best friend: I can't even remember where I lived 60 years ago.
First Kiss: Maybe it was the 63 VW.

simple solution. the *answer* to any security question doesn't have to be
something that matches the context of the question. for example, the answer
to "What was the first car you owned?" could be '2E$TG&jhg', 'aunt matilda's
cookies' or just about anything you want. and the answer to all security
questions can be the same answer. can't remember these answers or any
security questions? use a password manager like RoboForm
<www.roboform.com/>. remember...just because you're asked a question
doesn't mean you have to actually answer it.

Why, pray, do we need these additional security layers? They made me use a password with eight characters of which at least one was a capital letter and one a numeral. I'd think it nigh impossible to break into my account.

Exactly!
These are not prying questions unless you allow them to be. They are just
your "answers" to a set of questions. All that's required is that you
remember/record whatever your answers were.
First car: 1884 Benz
First teacher: Wackford Squeers
Best friend: Gandhi
First kiss: Helen of Troy

There is an option to create your own question, just in case you missed it. Well, you did. Just look for it. Scroll down the different questions. I think it's the last one.

Re: iTunes users griping about Apple's security questions

Sanjaya,
Like you, I had a similarly complex 8 digit password of both letters and numbers. I also felt "safe".
Yet about a month ago, I received a n email containing a warning notification that someone had downloaded an app from a computer that was not my usual computer. I verified that the email was from Apple, and that the app was, in fact, purchased.
Gladly, it was only a "free app" that was downloaded. But since I was obviously hacked, costly purchases could have occurred.
Of course, I immediately changed my password; and I also deauthorized all computers. I only have one computer - but yet, more than one was shown authorized; I think three - the only other computer that I used to have authorized I still own, and it is not even connected to the internet, and it does not have iTunes loaded on it anymore.
So, someone somewhere had my iTunes email address (not the one this email is sent from) AND they also had my 8 digit, letters and numbers password, and they had a computer authorized with my information.
My new password is 12 digits, letters and numbers, some caps and some small, etc.... Also, I occasionally check to see if there are new computers authorized.
I agree with others; I thought the new questions were not the best questions, too. But, I am proof that even a relatively complex password can be hacked, so the extra layer of security is not really a bad thing.

I've been using Dropbox for - oh heck - a long time! I love being able to
upload my photos from my iPhone so they're not all stored on it (I've
accidentally deleted some in the past - not good).
I use the Dropbox app. It makes it so easy to upload your photos to Dropbox
- just click and choose - it's done automatically.
I also share my photo's with family, so they have a direct link to the
Dropbox photo's folder. They can see them anytime they want, from any
device.
For those that are new to Dropbox, yes, you do get 2 g free to start with.
But, each time you introduce someone to Dropbox, and they sign up (it's
free), you get more storage space - FREE!
I LOVE IT!
Janet

Best is go to the site and check. I think they as for security questions
