Someone tell Bones that you can lie on security questions
Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it’s just a standardized password I use only on that field.
So…. Am I the only person that generates a random password as an “answer”?
On phone: okay Sir, we need at least the name of your favourite dog for verification!
give one second… It umm, AstronomicalTransmissionXylophoneInstitution
Bones. I’m sorry but you weren’t my first dog. My first dog will forever be the answer when it comes to security questions. It’s convenient. But you’re really my favorite. I love you bones.
Plot twist: Bones’ official full name is actually “James Bones”, but he doesn’t know.
How is even having these security questions even considered safe? What is more likely, person to know your password or a name of your favorite dog that you might get from that person’s Facebook account?
That’s why you make the answers fake ones. Like instead of your actual favorite pet, you answer lassy or airbud or something stupid like that
Even to the point of being nonsensical. I’ve had tech support chuckle at me but the intent was clear as day. Anyone can find my mother’s maiden name. Good luck figuring out the answer I gave the bank.
The correct answer was not BONES but possibly Bones or bones. Try again Bones!
Psst… Try “McCoy”, or “Dr. McCoy”. :)
The dog’s real name is “Sir Reginald Bonington, esq.” but their owner always just called them “Bones.”
Gonna get a bit pedantic and point out that the question actually asks the name of FIRST pet, not FAVORITE.
