Tell HN: IT guy at my company just did what?

So I got locked out of my account twice today at the aerospace company where I work. I presume someone was entering incorrect passwords for me and I don't think it was me. First time, IT guy said ok "answer these three personal security questions you set and I'll unlock your account". I answered them, account unlocked, good to go.

The second time I called, the same guy answered and said "oh... I think I remember you from a few hours ago. No need to answer any of your security questions, I think I remember them." AND THEN HE SAID THE ANSWERS BACK TO ME OVER THE PHONE. I was dumbfounded. Had to come here to get reactions.
