Brokerage login now requiring I answer these questions. Not a single one of these has a single answer I’d actually remember. They all have problems regarding what would actually count or multiple possible answers to choose from, or these are not things people would remember or they just don’t apply to most people.

    This is the right answer. I never answer those, you add new entries in your password manager in the notes for the main site.

    If you answer truthfully to any one of those “security questions”, your account is at risk.

      Don’t add as notes, add as a new hidden option in bitwarden. Use the password maker to generate a string of crap

        TIL about hidden options in Bitwarden, thanks!

        I of course already use the password generator to make up the random string, and often you can’t use special characters there since they expect real words as answers.

        I just make an extra entry in KeePass with a suffix and different icon. I treat the answer just like an additional password and put the question as username or in the notes.
