Privacy/security tip:
Never use accurate/truthful information as answers to security questions. The system doesn't know that "I like butts" or "I hate the Dodgers" is a nonsense answer to the question "What is your mother's maiden name?" or "What street did you grow up on?"

If you do not use your actual information as answers to security questions, you decrease the chance of someone guessing your security question answers, and getting a hold of your passwords, your email accounts, or other sensitive things you don't want someone getting into.

Even if you never ever post personal information about yourself on social media, or send it in the body text of an email, there are always going to people who will know or can guess your actual answers. People who know where you grew up, where you were born, your first car, etc.

Make it harder for assholes, trolls, scammers, and thieves to get into your shit. Make up nonsense fake answers and use those as security question answers. Make them funny enough that you remember them. Make up a fake person and use their information instead. Anything but yours.

Other tips also always still apply:
Use two or three-factor authentication if possible. Use different passwords if possible. Do not use any information in passwords related to your life (house/building numbers, dates of birth, anniversaries, pet names, etc.). Change passwords.

But seriously. For anyone doing any kind of public work, anyone who's ever been in the press/media, your information is out there. Where you grew up. Where you went to school. Who your relatives/partners are. What your pets' names are. Do not use this info in security questions.

This is literally how Hillary Clinton's emails got hacked back in 2016. I do not like or support her at all politically (if you follow me you know why), but it's a clear security lesson. The "hacker" typed in her information to the security questions and reset her email password.

Hillary Clinton is famous. Every detail of her life is publicly available, and easily. Where she grew up, was born, what streets she's lived on, etc. ... it's on Wikipedia for fuck's sake.

You don't have to be as famous as Clinton though to be at risk. Do not use your info.
