Should be watertight- write it down on some paper rather than storing it on your PC just to be on the safe side.
The only way in is via guessing password or secret answer- and if you make that as hard as possible then it's better- also avoid signing in on PCs other than your own!
As I pointed out when it appeared a couple of months back, MSN recently added a secondary email detail but that's only being used to send reset instructions if you can't remember secret answer. Which I feel is the wrong way round, reset instructions should be sent to the secondary email instead of the secret question route (which necessitates hacking two accounts, if one's more secure - I have a couple that SMS reset instructions - then it's an awful lot harder). MSN being muppet-esque obviously didn't realise. I thought about emailing them but the muppets probably wouldn't get the message anyway.
