    I usually invent answers to those and store those answers in a password manager. Essentially turns them into backup passwords that can be spoken over the phone if necessary.

    Where was I born? “Stallheim, EUSA, Mars”

    Name of first pet? “Groovy Tuesday”

    It’s fun, usually.

      What is the first name of your first best friend?

      eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq

      Oh old eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq and I go way back! I met eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq in Pre-K and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

      It is quite annoying if they’re a service that makes you read aloud your security questions to phone reps to prove your identity. One of my retirement accounts requires that and I have to sigh and read out the full string. I’ve changed it since to an all lowercase, 20 digit string as a compromise.

      I tried that without a password manager for a little while. But then my answers were too abstract to remember, so now I also use a password manager for that.
