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.

@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.

@MichalBryxi @th @platypus My favorite is citibank, who I'm totally going to name and shame here, asking for a variant "secure password" from their paperwork while I was traveling, which I didn't have on me because that's a business card I never think about. Card locked, alternate plans.

So I get home, dig it out, call them back up, get right in to reactivating my card. "What happened to the secure password thing?" "Oh there's a note on your account that you didn't know it, so we didn't ask."
