Security 101: Never answer security questions truthfully

• bluedino 13y ago
  Not a bad idea, but then you have to create some file with a list of your little lies. Then that file has to be encrypted and you have to remember the password for it. What was your childhood pet's name? Did I answer this with 'Bob Saget' or 'Nosferatu'? I can't remember!

    Yes, I generate them at random, and keep them at my password database, right next to the actual password for the service. That makes them absolutely useless, it's true. And it is the most usefullness you can extract from them. I'd throw them away, but lots of services make you anwser them once in a while.
