- pestaa 14y agoMy favorite security answer is "@#¤ß$ä#$&%^$" so please don't discard case or punctuation. (Yes, I design these answers virtually impossible to brute-force even for myself.)
- cookiecaper 14y agoI too use a random and unique Secret Answer each time I am prompted for one. The Rackspace people, who require the account's SQ/SA before they push you through to the real support people, think I'm weird.
- gizzlon 14y agoI just mash my keyboard for 10 seconds if I have to supply one. But now I wonder if "A bunch of random characters" would be accepted as the answer.. >(
