Passwords: Never reuse passwords!! That's not secure!

Security questions: You must reuse these 3 questions on every single site, the answers to which were matters of public record in the first place.

@ben

FWIW, the answers are (usually) whatever you want them to be.

My "answers" to security questions are just more auto-generated passwords.

But then you have to write them down which is also a bad security practice 😏

@m0xee

No, you don't.

Password Manager.

I recommend KeePassXC, but there are several good ones.

@ErictheCerise
So not only writing them down, but keeping them in the same place where you store your other passwords? That is an excellent idea! 😂
If your password manager ever gets compromised (which doesn't happen often, but there is still a non-zero possibility), at least the perpetrator might not know your pet's name — but with this you're leaving them no such option.
