So with the proliferation of deep fakes etc... M and I came up with a "family safe word."

Unfortunate complication: IT IS DEEPLY HILARIOUS AND I CAN'T TELL ANYONE DAMMIT

this is like when my boss said "my current password is based on you and it's very funny and I can't tell you what it is"

It's been 15 years and I am HAUNTED by this

@platypus my bank used to allow custom security questions, so I set one to "what are you wearing?" and the answer to "that's very inappropriate please transfer me to your manager". the first time an customer service rep encountered it they couldn't stop laughing and had to actually transfer to a coworker to complete the call.

That is brilliant and delightful.
It is also plausibly a contributing reason they changed away from custom questions. Losing too many customer service reps to giggling.
