I don't like the security questions that are sometimes asked in addition to passwords.
First, I don't like them because some are too easily guessable researchable. For example, What was your first dog's name? Where were you born?
Second, I don't like them because the answer isn't always clear. Did I write Fido or fido? Did I write Chevy or chevrolet?
So, I'm considering a new policy. When asked to create some security questions/answers, I will always use one answer. For example, "This is my answer" That way, I'll always remember (I'll also record it in LastPass), and it will not be guessable.
For example: What is your favorite sports team?
This is my answer
Does anyone see any problems with that?
