How to safely use security questions
PURPOSE
Security questions are sometimes used for account recovery, but weak answers can be guessed or researched.
AVOID PUBLIC INFORMATION
Do not use answers easily found on social media or public records.
USE STRONG ANSWERS
Treat security question answers like additional passwords.
STORE SECURELY
If needed, store complex answers in a password manager.
BEST PRACTICE
Random answers are often safer than truthful obvious ones.
