I use 1Password as a password vault. Some years ago, I decided to start lying for secret question answer challenges. I use 1Password to generate a string of garbage (without numbers or symbols, 25 characters long) and keep that answer in a custom field in the 1Password vault. I've tagged those entries with a security tag to find all accounts with secret Q&A information.
I am paranoid about back ups because if god forbid I lost that vault, there are accounts that would be permanently lost to me.

- rabboRubble 9y agoGood point. I’ll have to think it over a bit. Since I have all the info should be very easy to fix up the data. Just time consuming
- osteele 9y agoI used to do that but sometimes you have to read them over the phone. Now I use the “Words” recipe to generate a 2-3 word answer for each field. For example, if I had to fill out my answers right now, my high school would be “Popcorn Gizzard”, my childhood friend would be “Procure Drowse”, and my first car would be “Sextant Overflow”.
