    Do use security questions, but with wrong answers (stored in a password manager).

    what would be the point of that? if you know how to and use password manager, then you already have good password you are not going to forget. what would be the point of having secondary password stored in the same database?

    one of my bank security questions

    i had a client who was getting divorce, because “security question” to his email account was name of the parrot he shared with his wife. they were both in their 70s…

    “security question” is the most stupid concept in security. here, in case you forget your password, lets just setup another password, and let it be something so trivial that 10 people already know it and another 100 can easily google or find it on your facebook.

    whoever came up with it should be shot together with creator of comic sans. if a BANK demands you to setup one, you should run as far as you can from their service.
