Can you tell me your name?
When opening an account, you are asked to answer a security question, for example, about your childhood hero or pet’s name, or your favorite book, which is stored in the system. If you answer this question incorrectly or do not remember the answer, your account will be locked and you will need to reset your password.
How Does The System Know That It’s The Owner Requesting The Reset?
Companies use the same information that you provided them when opening your account. Password reset works on the principle that the information between the reset request provider and the account holder must match. When you open your account, you either use your email id or phone number, both give you a unique id, as no two people can have the same email id or mobile number. Also, you are required to verify your email or mobile number through OTP verification, which ensures that you hold authority over the provided email or number. Once the verification is over you are required to answer a question that will be required to retrieve the password if you forget it. There are a series of questions, mainly about things you go through daily, like the name of your pet, your favorite book, or your favorite movie character. These are some things that have very little tendency to slip off from your memory.
After a password reset, the company uses the same email or mobile number to verify, it’s the owner requesting the reset by sending an OTP to either of them. The company assumes that no one but the owner can access the email or number. It also asks for answers to the question you selected while opening the account. Once all the information matches the already fed information, your password is changed.
