    If you have a password manager, you can set the answers to random, junk strings. My first pet? Why, dear Flag!spl@tch9. As long as the answers match next time.

    And if they give you the option to create your own question, that could be a random string. As well as the answer. Static noise is your friend.

    It’s lazy security.

        Or, if you’ve used keepass for so long and then you transition to Linux and have some growing pains. I’ll never get into my grocery store loyalty points program and I accept that.
