This is a risky proposal. What if I don't remember the random bullshit I wrote in for the answers?

I guess you can make them the answers that an anime character would use.

What if websites / apps would simply allow users to fill in their own security questions and answers? That way everyone can make up something that only makes sense to them, instead of being forced to pick one of a handful of questions of which the answer can easily be looked up or divulged through smalltalk.

I had to answer a security question for an MMO once that had that option.

I have to assume at least a portion of other customers did the same as I did and left an incoherent question that made no sense years later.

My answers are all gibberish and they get stored in my password manager next to all my passwords.

It's not much of a security question if all the answers are things a simple Google search can look up about you, or family and friends can find the answer to.

For a more secure account, it's definitely recommended to have all of your answers to not be the actual answer about yourself.

Try some of the methods in this topic to remember your answers. Like picking a fictional character and what their answers would be.

That's actually better than what I always did. I just picked the answer to a different question like "What color was your childhood bike" would be the name of my childhood pet.

Did you read what I said at all.

We live in the technology age that you don't have to post much about yourself at all, for your information to still be out there on the dark web. It's also not just limited to thing you post, but information your family, friends, friends of friends, coworkers and more know about you as well. Even signing up for a website like Gmail, Facebook, or even your bank, information can possibly be stolen of breached. Your digital footprint can unfortunately be left by more people than just yourself.

Answering security questions with the actual answers about yourself is not recommended because some detective work from the malicious actor can sometimes be performed to get those answers. Even if you are unaware that information is available for someone to obtain. Or where they can get it.
