Why Identity String and Security Questions?
The Identity String and Security Questions are features intended to supply you with a secure online experience. These tools help protect users from common forms of Internet fraud. The Identity String is used to help you determine that this is a legitimate site. We will display this value back to you once you login to the site. The identity string is used to protect you from phishing attacks, whereby a trickster can put up a fake web site that looks real, and entice you to visit the fake site by sending you a phony e-mail. The Security Questions are used to provide for advanced authentication for your account. When a user logs into your account, the system will determine if their computer is already registered. If not registered, the user will be prompted to answer the three Security Questions, and will only gain access if correct answers are provided.
