This set of "security questions" for a forgotten password is for a web site for filing franchise tax - a tax typically paid by corporations. This form is filled out by a person acting in a role as the corporation's financial provider or senior officer (e.g., a CFO, if a small business). So why does it want personal information about them? The role might be the same next year, but there's no guarantee that it will be the same person - does one CPA have to call up another CPA to ask their favorite toy? And why is there such an emphasis on childhood experiences - this seems to be a psychodynamic therapy session as much as a tax filing session.
