- stephengillie 11y agoI store these in the Notes field in KeePass. Or sometimes in their own password entry.
- foundart 11y agoAbsolutely! And for those sites that don't let you pick your own questions, just use random answers anyway. And for those sites that have the same small set of questions (mother's maiden name, etc), use a different answer on every site.
- bluedino 11y agoThat's fun when you have to tell the answer to someone on the phone, like a customer service agent.
- cmwelsh 11y agoThey can see it in front of them so you can read it back to them in less than 15 seconds. They'll probably zone out while you're reading it anyway.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoI had that exact experience, along with the representative telling me that it wasn't actually stored or checked case-sensitively, so I didn't need to bother identifying capital/lowercase.
