I've just started filling them with randomly generated strings that my password manager helpfully creates for me. Though, apparently my bank uses those answers for phone verification also, which makes answering questions like "What's your Significant Other's nickname?" awkward when the answer is "F9-#g7a2<qj"
- raverbashing 11y agoUse a random but user friendly value #$%&+@ is going to be hard to type or speak, just say their nickname is "the frozen one", same entropy, easier to handle
- kbenson 11y ago>> What's your Significant Other's nickname? > Use a random but user friendly value > "the frozen one" I imagine that may make make your significant other who was previously friendly, markedly less so, if they see your "friendly value". But that may have been your point, as it may be quite a bit easier to remember. :)
- raverbashing 11y agoMy point is to use a term that is easier to type and speak rather than just a sequence of symbols. Or just modify the "right" answer in a quirky way. But yeah, what you said might happen.
- proactivesvcs 11y agoI do the same, but Correct Horse Battery Staple them.
- abrookewood 11y agoYep, that's the way to do it - just ignore the questions competely and let your password manager handle it.
