Agreed. Its like taxes really. Everyone wants more security, but no one wants the pain of passwords (or the apparently difficult task of remembering them).
I do like it when they start rambling off all their information to me though "well the last four of my social is..." I said password people. I always just say "I am not willing to loss my job to let you into an account you can't verify" That makes them really angry, but come on people, do I ask you (a perfect stranger) to break the law? No.

my favorite is when they claim they used a different question before. "Last time they asked me for my mothers maiden name and that's Philips so that will work." I just want to be like uhmm maybe last time with a different company with really bad security but it sure wasn't this company cause that's a stupid question any one would know.

HAHAHA same thing here.. They swear they never set up a password i interrupt them and say -"Its up to 5 numbers or letters and you had to set it up if you authorized someone to make changes or upgrades to your account"- "Oh try jenni" and walah!

What i hate is when parents send in their kids to do an upgrade or figure something out with their bill with no information.. and i always get that "Oh well is my parents martha and john gigliamo"-"Sir i cant access your account without a Cell # and last four and if applicable a password and in order to discuss the account with you i would need a password."
When you have the speech ready like that i think it irritates them.

As an indirect we have tons of people do that to us and literally i ...

It is even better when they drop their 13 year old off to upgrade her phone...all she know is her number and her parents name...no last 4 no password...and well hmmm lets think...SHE CANNOT SIGN A CONTRACT!! She is 13!! And then when they get back from running "errands" (doing the pool boy) they are simply shocked that little erica does not have her new phone yet. They sent her in here with $300. Of course i would have sold her one outright but...hhmm...most of our outright phones are more than that with tax. To which they reply...well i would not have sent her in here if we didn't want her to get a new phone. And of course this is not even the parent that the account is listed under..So now we have to call her father who is probably with t...

HEHE we dont even get a secret question/answer/hint/reminder... But honestly if they found out reps were pulling up their info and account at their liesure they would flip, but they want you to be able to at their convenience.

LOL hobby... my manager always says "Its ganna happen where you have a customer in front of you and your ganna look up and all the sudden "Snaggle tooth" will pop in your head and you will want to laugh, but you cant" Now every ugly that comes in i have to turn my head to compose myself so i dont laugh in their face... if i had a hint, i think i would always think "blowing goats" in that same way.
