#security questions

Okay, look, they talk to a Google rep in some of the video clips, but I give it a pass because this FREE course is a good baseline for personal internet safety that so many people just do not seem to have anymore. It's done in short video clip and article format (the videos average about a minute and a half). This is some super basic stuff like "What is PII and why you shouldn't put it on your twitter" and "what is a phishing scam?" Or "what is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS and why do you care?"

It's worrying to me how many people I meet or see online who just do not know even these absolute basic things, who are at constant risk of being scammed or hacked and losing everything. People who barely know how to turn their own computers on because corporations have made everything a proprietary app or exclusive hardware option that you must pay constant fees just to use. Especially young, somewhat isolated people who have never known a different world and don't realize they are being conditioned to be metaphorical prey animals in the digital landscape.

Anyway, this isn't the best internet safety course but it's free and easy to access. Gotta start somewhere.

Here's another short, easy, free online course about personal cyber security (GCFGlobal.org Introduction to Internet Safety)

I hate hate hate that "mother's maiden name" is such a common security question. I recently registered for something that didn't even give me the option to pick a different one. In this day and age, when so many women, including my mom, keep their names, it's pretty ridiculous.

Like, sure, someone could probably figure out where I went to elementary school if they looked into it. But my mom's name is much more public and takes much less digging.

Why is this shit still a thing, as if women's names are some super secret?

I find it funny looking through bank suggestions for security verification questions because anyone can find this information if they knew me or saw my online presence. I'm not going to put "What was the name of the first elementary school you went to" or "What was your childhood best friend's name" because what if I want to tell a dumb story about either of them and the answer slips. And hell forbid "What's the name of your favourite TV show character". That shit isn't staying a secret. Anyone who is around me for 5 minutes is hearing their name and 8 obscure facts about them.

They need to modernize the recommended questions. Ask me "What did you eat for lunch on May 24, 2023". Nobody would ever have a reason to know that except for me remembering it solely for the question. Ask me "What was the name of that cringey OC you made in middle school" because there's no way I am letting that information out.

I hate security questions for accounts because they're always shit that is so unbelievably easy for someone to figure out especially if a person has used almost any social media in the past decade.

I get why "security questions" exist but boy howdy, the way they're commonly implemented is atrocious.

And this is a(nother) very good reason to use a password manager. KeePass2, whatever, as long as it lets you store extra notes about the account. Whether you provide a "real" answer or not ("Your first pet?" "Umbreon.") you can save it in the password manager (exactly as entered, because yeah, a lot of these things are case sensitive, which is absolute genius, good jorb guyz) for later reference.

Security questions on passwords are one of the most worthless fucking things. They're like

"Thing that can change constantly"

"Hey you're a parent with 2.5 children and a picket fence right?"

"What's your mom's SSN"
