Those questions your bank asks you to get your password unlocked and such. LIE. What is your Mothers maiden name? Spiderman. Yeah thats what I said. Spiderman. Even if they find your Mothers maiden name a hacker cant get in because you put in Spiderman. Pick a favorite movie and use those characters. Use their favorite color or high school mascot. Use your favorite actor even and use their personal data. You will NOT get in trouble for this. Your bank will not look in your profile and be like “Um Ma’am it has come to our attention you have lied in your security questions.” Never gonna happen. Who cares if you said you went to Hogwarts for High School. These are for YOU and YOUR security on YOUR accounts. The harder you have made it then the harder it is for someone else to guess. Through internet information mining people may very well find out what your mothers maiden name is. But jeez its gonna be funny when they try. Cause nowhere and I mean nowhere will it say her name was Spiderman. Well unless you go around telling everyone the funny story about how you put Spiderman in your security questions.
Don’t share any information even with close friends. Yes its OK for you to think Im silly and your long time friend wont do anything. Who cares. You should. If your the only one that knows your the only one that can get in. Well with in reason of course. Its like practicing what you preach. You don’t wan to only practice good security with your accounts out in public. Then go home and break all the rules because you feel safe in your home. You are only as safe as you can possibly make yourself at your weakest point. And if you slack off at home then all the other things you do are for nothing.
