@th oh my godddddd 💀💀💀😂😂😂

@th @platypus I used to have “SAUSAGE SOUP” (Yes, this is a thing in Germany) as “password” for the hotline of a now defunct mobile operator. That quickly answered the question if they can see it or if they have to type it in. It also started every interaction on a lighter note. Especially if spoken with a stern proclaiming tone: “WURSTSUPPE!”.

@th Our government official communication box here in Belgium allows you to set a custom title, so I set mine to something resembling "yo this ain't no phishing, man" which is how I now know that the mail I get is official and not phishing.
Took a while to convince my wife these mails were really from our government

@th @platypus @jwz
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.

@th @platypus Mine was "Do you think I'm sexy?"

@th @platypus For United Airlines my security question used to be “What airline's mileage support is the worst?” Sadly they no longer allow user created security questions and answers. Maybe because that one was too predictable.

@th @platypus My answers to security answers usually goes: "Did you know that security questions are a big security loophole and you should not give me the access?" irrespective to the question.
Once I had to repeat the same sentence three times, because support required me to fill them all in.

@th @platypus Congratulations, I laughed like crazy on the floor just due to this post.

@th 💀

@th @platypus Fantastic! When it is only web based security questions, I set them, and the answers, in a language little known outside it's country of origin. Works a treat.

@th @platypus pass phrases that are jokes! It’s genius. Lighten your day and it’s memorable.

@th @platypus Honestly if you're the service rep and you don't transfer this call to an unsuspecting coworker, huge missed opportunity

@th @platypus
Q > "You're not gonna shoot are you?"
A > "Put all the money in the bag, and no funny business"

@th @platypus you utter genius 😂

@th @platypus Positively brilliant. several gold stars, and cookies of your choice are available for you.

@miki @platypus @th I want to use that now. rofl

@th @Foxy @platypus Considering the digest came across this and couldn’t stop laughing myself, I totally see how that happened. Congratulations, you win the Internet today!

@sashag playing the system.

@th @platypus I put an XSS payload as the name of my yubikey in college and a random engineer reached out to me about it to call me clever.
