I can barely answer half of those for myself and out of those that I can answer I'm either not sure I'd answer the same thing a few years later or it will probably be something a lot of people know.

Those questions are terrible.

Answering with a random string is the only sensible solution. But it is just as mindbogglingly bad. Because then you could just as well write down the password - and bam, you'd never lose it (well, if you did lose it you would have lost the answers to these questions as well so either way you are screwed).



Just keep in mind that the ACTUAL answer to the security questions doesnt matter, just whatever you type into the box the first time.

What was your first car? "spaceship" is perfectly acceptable response, and its not discoverable by public means.

it does however mean you need to know what you would have typed in for each of the questions.
