    Oh look, another social engineering scam passing itself off as a meme.

    I hate to be that guy, but this is exactly how people crack into your accounts. These scams are aimed at getting information that can be used to crack security questions for account recovery.

    Please do yourself a favor. Next time you see these images please do not interact with them.

        It’s not about the password itself. Many password reset systems use security questions. A common security question is what your favorite food is.

        They don’t need to know your current password when they know the security answer to make a new password on their own.
