- phs318u 2y agoWhen forced to provide answers to dumb “security questions”, I will typically use a password manager to both generate a random “answer” and to store the question-answer pairs. I generate new strings for each site that asks the same dumb question. For sites that demand to know my birthday when all they really need is a boolean declaration of adulthood I use 1 January 1901. (I’ll admit that when I first started this practice I used 1 April 1901).
