I believe the e-mail confirmation step was added just in the last few days. I decided a few days ago to change the e-mail address associated with my account, and logged in to see how to do that. Everything looked normal when I checked, but I didn't actually proceed with the change at that time. But I did make the change yesterday, and discovered the confirmation step had been added. (Actually, the whole look of my account management page had changed.)

Is it possible to change/view your security question somehow?

I can't remember what I put there years ago, I'm not even sure if I could answer that question myself today. :-p
