   Ever wonder if you should answer those security questions, like "what's the name of your first pet?" truthfully? There's a better approach. https://ssd.eff.org/module/creating-strong-passwords

     @eff Good advice, but I use jokes for my security answers.

     I help people make various online accounts almost every day, and for most people, being memorable is the most important thing. The name of the hospital they were born in is a go-to for them, the name of their high school is a second choice. They are typically people who have already created an account and can't retrieve it.
