Jen GentlemanPast me: Here is a clever password hint question answer that no one will be able to think of but me
Present me: wtf did I put as the answer to this
Anton Attano@JenMsft I once wanted to recover an old account and had to call support. They asked me for the answer of one of those questions that I filled out. I could hear the agent laughing after she looked at the answer but I did not remember it after 10+ years. And she was not allowed to tell me even after authenticating myself another way. I will never know what I wrote, but it made someones day 10 years later :-D

Louis Dureuil@JenMsft I treat security questions as passwords:
1. Generating a random response
2. Keeping both question and response in the password manager
As for password hints, I left them blank or set them to "intentionally blank" if blank isn't allowed

In my password manager are the answers to the secret questions for a bunch of services. They're saved without the questions, so can look rather odd out of context.

Pratik Patel@JenMsft I never thought that the password hint thing was a useful option. I usually put silly things in it.

Attached: 1 image 1/3 #TechTuesday #Password I have a #TechTip for you this week about how to create memorable, #Strong #Passwords such as a mix of letters and numbers, at least 1 uppercase, at least 1 special character, etc. I got this one from a video by an actual hacker. He said to think of a memorable sentence, and abbreviate it into a password. So, a sentence like "My birthday is the 29th of February!" abbreviates to "Mbit29thoF!". So it's strong, and easy to remember! But that's only the start...
Alain Krikilion@JenMsft I think it was 'passwordmanager'! π
