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 😆 reminds me that my two account recovery questions with a previous employer were

"what's your favourite 50-digit prime number?" and

"what's your least favourite 50-digit prime number?"

I got to use it once, and it was worth it for the disbelieving tone on the other end of the phone.

@FourT4 or even "tell me your password!" and "no, I won't tell you!" @th @platypus
