Setting Up Security Questions
00:00:00.000 | I always say to people, "Listen, when you set up security questions and answers, lie
00:00:03.500 | like a superhero.
00:00:04.700 | Clark Kent is not going to tell people he's Superman.
00:00:06.900 | Bruce Wayne doesn't run around saying, 'Hey, I'm Batman.'"
00:00:10.340 | So if your mother's maiden name is Smith, tell people it's Jones.
00:00:15.540 | If you went to Ridgefield High School, tell them you went to Southwick.
00:00:20.060 | The key thing is consistency.
00:00:23.180 | It's not as if you're doing an interview to get a security clearance for national security.
00:00:29.200 | All you're trying to do is create something that will be a benchmark.
00:00:33.600 | So it's not about veracity.
00:00:36.060 | It's just about consistency.
00:00:38.560 | Sometimes I just have strings of numbers.
00:00:39.800 | I use one password and I generate a random string of characters.
00:00:43.360 | So it's like, "What's your favorite book?"
00:00:45.040 | It might be gobbledygook to me.
00:00:46.920 | It's just a bunch of numbers and symbols and letters, but it certainly isn't something
00:00:50.640 | anyone would guess.
00:00:52.000 | And the same goes for the high school I went to or my dog's name or things that you might
00:00:55.560 | actually be able to find out online.
