Do you have a code word?

Tweet

I called my bank to double check the balance in my account was what I thought it was. They asked my bank account or my Social Security number, they asked my driver’s license number, and then they they asked my code word. Code word? I asked them if I had indeed given them a code word, and they said yes, I had. I scanned my brain for what I might have said when I remembered my cable company used to make me answer a question to agree to talk to me about my account. I remembered what my answer to that question so I repeated that answer to the bank employee. I was right! I said, “All right! I remembered something!” Which sent the bank employee into genuine laughter. I mean, I was really excited because I did not remember when they went to a code word. Though, I appreciate that they added an extra layer of security. So, I was wondering about you guys. I don’t want to know what it is, but do you have to give code words to get access to your information in some form? Cable company, phone company, bank, or for something else?
