8 suggested security questions to ask Millennials on healthcare.gov

Many consumers nationwide already are having a difficult enough time signing up for the health insurance exchanges on Healthcare.gov. But in addition to the technical glitches plaguing the online registration, consumers are now finding themselves stumped by the security questions asked to verify their identities, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Questions include what was your high school mascot, what was your favorite childhood superhero, and what is the street you lived on when you were in third grade? Those may seem reasonable, but what about these: What is your significant other’s favorite color? What is your youngest child’s birth weight? And what color was your first bicycle?

While it’s a feat in itself to actually make it to the prompt asking for security questions, many are finding themselves flummoxed and not able to answer the required three to five questions from a pre-determined list of 12 to 30, depending on whether it’s a federal or state exchange. Some customers are even going so far as to give up.
