Brokerage login now requiring I answer these questions. Not a single one of these has a single answer I’d actually remember. They all have problems regarding what would actually count or multiple possible answers to choose from, or these are not things people would remember or they just don’t apply to most people.

    The best insight I remember reading about questions as MFA, is to consider the answer as a password. If you use a password manager, don’t feel forced to use actually true answers. The answer doesn’t have to be true, you just need to know it. Use a password manager and invent answers which you store. This is so much more secure than relying on the truth.

    Edit: others mention the same thing.
