Password Reset Human Verification Questions

[Alcor]

Can we please change some of the answers and/or questions in the random "Human Verification" questions in the password reset request.
The questions and answers should be distinct, short and sweet. The more specific the question the better.

For example, 'What is the birthday of Goldie from Animal Crossing, answer in the format of MM/DD'
Birthdays don't change and answer format layout is clearly defined.

E.G. of a weak question that in used at the moment
'What kind of animal is Isabelle in Animal Crossing?'

shih tzu? shih-tzu? shizue? dog? maybe with capitalization
The site says it's wrong either way... for those replies​

E.G. of a better question that in use at the moment
'What item buried in the ground can you bring Blathers the owl to identify?'

One clear answer, a fossil (at least for the moment until the game mechanics introduces something new)​

E.G. of another poorly worded question
'What does Tom Nook's loan pay for?'

home, house, room expansion, tent, campsite, remodeling?...​

i'd rather not have to google my own verification questions personally

 

[Corrie]

This is a totally valid point. Luckily the only questions I've ever gotten were the fossil one and what currency is used in the games, which is bells.

 

[Alcor]

Doesn't necessarily have to be dates.
Here more examples;

Answer with identity of names instead of pronouns.

• Who is the mayor's secretary, assists the player with their mayoral duties, in Animal Crossing New Leaf?
• Who is the dark furred feline that reads the player's fortune in the Animal Crossing series?
• What is the name pumpkin head character that shows up for the Animal Crossing's Halloween seasonal event?
• What is the name of the winter seasonal event that represents Christmas in the Animal Crossing series?
• What is the name of this underground dwelling creature that shows up in Animal Crossing when the player does not exit the game before saving?
• What is the name of the lost yellow furred feline traveler, sporting a blue dress, recurring from Animal Crossing Wild World?

Can we please not. If there was one thing I hated was even keeping track or writing down which you would lose either way and having to google or look everywhere for that no.

I'm not sure I feel about it. If they were pretty hard questions like who's that birthday, I wouldn't really spend time looking it up. I do agree, that Isabelle dog type is a bit weird since I don't know how to spell it.

 

[Alcor]

I agree it shouldn't be hard.
If remembering how to spell a name of a villager or holiday is also too difficult, then just replace the whole thing with a captcha.

The core issue here is the ambiguity of some of the questions. And this isn't the first time I was locked out of answering those questions as well.
And won't be the last, since the site-wide security breach never notified me of a password change (and no messages from this site doesn't go to my spam folder)

Bruh- yes. I spent maybe a good 10 minutes searching to find the answer for a VERIFICATION CODE. It should not be that hard- I get asking a question, and I think the examples of alternatives you put are good, I hope they actually look into this stuff and hopefully fix it- ;-;
