See what a security question is for
Answer those questions in a way nobody could look up.
A security question is a way back in when the password is gone. A guessable answer is a weak lock.
A maiden name or an old street can be looked up. Your answer is allowed to be untrue.
Key points
- A security question is another way in, so its answer is a second lock
- The answer may be untrue, if you keep it where you will find it
What to remember
- It need not be true. It must be findable by you alone.
- A security question is a second password in disguise.
