before you make a guardian and set your answers check and double check them! be sure they are all correct you won't get a second confirm page 0_o
also write your questions and answers in note!
this coming from my own embarrassing mishap, which jagex helped me with.. yay <3

This is pretty nifty, It had glitched or something on me once, i signed up for it, and then when i tried to log in, it blocked me from logging in until i re-added my computer, even sent me an email about it.
If you travel or use runescape on other devices, simply allow the guardian to add that device to your circle of happiness and it wont block that device anymore. Although, I wouldn't recommend any public places like a library to enable the guardian, never know who is a hacker near you :P

And yes, i do wish that i was able to make up my own questions....a lot of them didn't even apply to me :/. You need to put that into consideration jagex, not everyone has parent(s), not everyone has siblings, not everyone knows their parents full names, not everyone know where they met, not everyone had a pet....maybe someone out there hated every teacher they ever had! You let us make security questions for the account thingy (Which apparently fails anyway due to people still having a hard time getting their account back even after answering every single question and past ********* correctly)....That's pretty much the only complaint i have with this.
Or, you can have the questions and answers used sent to an email address of the user's choice (optional check box of course) (In case they don't want it sent to the email address associated with their runescape account)

I guess they wanted guinea pigs to test it out make sure it works right and fix any bugs before the masses come and find a bunch of bugs and everything and swamp jagex with a crap load of more emails to ignore ;D

I agree, I would definitely use this feature if I could write my own questions. The problem for me is that the questions you've chosen are pretty much exactly the same ones my bank uses to identify me. Of course, I'm sure you won't be raiding my bank account, but I can't be sure you have the same level of data security as my bank, and that you will treat this personal infomation about me as carefully as my bank treats my ******** information.
If I sign up to the current system, and my bank account does get hacked somehow, I would no longer be able to honestly tell my bank I have kept the access details secure, and I'm sure from your point of view, Jagex/IVP wouldn't want the finger of suspicion to be pointed at them!
