The simplest solution I've had is to keep a notebook where I for every page I write down the security questions and my answer. This is done because I have a bad memory, not as an attempt to salt, but it is a good point that we should try to answer these questions differently every time.
This is used for the few times where I have to do password recovery / phone support, I just grab the book.
For normal password usage I use automated hashing system in Firefox.

- rogerbinns 14y agoI treat my security questions exactly the same as passwords, just having a different prompt. The answers are long, randomly generated and not stored in my brain. And the same question for different sites have different answers. Instead of paper I do use a password program, and ensure that the encrypted data files are replicated to several different places.
