    Did you know that Lemmy will automatically censor your password if you type it into a comment? Look, my password is *************

    Sounds like she’s trying to steal your identity. Specifically your last name because that’s wife material!

      Ok I agree that the title falls flat but I appreciate that the red circle draws the eye away from the first text from him, so that it’s funnier when it’s read. A rare example of red circle as comedy, if you will.

    For real though, security questions suck. Either someone who knows you has the answers which is insecure. Or you forget them. I just put my password in for all the security questions. My mother’s maiden name was definetly “ahsh555[51´,5%8”.

      It’s so so so stupid. And if you’re not married and don’t have a pet, I guess you can go fuck yourself.

      I had one that was something like “what did you wish your nickname was when you were 10?”

        For me, I use stable related answers that are not quite accurate… So for example “first pet’s name”. I’ve never had a pet, and so I instead use the name of my favorite childhood stuffed animal.

      The first time I saw security questions start becoming a thing in the late 90s, I’d been online for about 5 years and had gone from a kid with decent tech skills to a skeptical teenager with decent tech skills. When I started seeing all these questions to answer while signing up for an account it set off the warning bells, so however many accounts I set up at the time have completely unguessable recovery answers.

      Although one time I think I did guess my forgotten answer to “who was you first kiss?” as “your mom told me not to tell”.

      Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the questions though, if you were to forget your password? I answer with nonsense too, just keep it in my password manager or write it down somewhere.
