Many financial sites require a mother's maiden name plus personal details if you should lose a password and apply for a new one.

This is true. Those institutions do often use the birthdate too. The birthdate is easy to find. Most websites about celebrities or corporate executive do display the full birthdate in their bios.

As for the maiden name, it is almost the same. Rarely the parents are available in a bio, but it is not so difficult to get it. For instance, I found the mother's maiden name of Bill Gates on my first search on Google.

Perhaps Bill Gates should be offended about his privacy, but there is little he can do about it regarding his birthdate and mother's maiden name. The same can apply to several celebrities too.

Finaicial sites now require a secret question or something like that. This is more reliable than asking for public facts. Besides, I find it more dangerous for those institutions to collect birthdates and mother's maiden name than asking a secret question. Some of those institutions have thousand of employees, so it is easy for a rogue employee to steal the data or worse, steal your identity and use it somewhere else.
