This has always been pretty evident to me ever since I opened a Hotmail account 10 years ago. I always pick either questions only I really know the answer to or choose answers that are slightly misleading.
The only downfall is that sometimes I forget the answers, but I eventually get them right. :)
- qwph 18y agoI pick an arbitrary question, and treat the answer like a second password. eg: what is your pet's name? qw9er8rty
- OneSeventeen 18y agoI read a tip, I don't remember where anymore sadly, about taking a key word from the question, adding some password-like string to it and calling that your answer. So: "What is your pet's name?" n0tm4hp4s5w3rd-pets-name and: "What street did you grow up on?" n0tm4hp4s5w3rd-street You still have to remember an arbitrary string, it is SLIGHTLY more accessible than mashing randomly, and certainly more secure than putting the real answer.
