Use fake answers to security prompts

If you regularly post on social media or disseminate details like addresses and names online, a criminal might attempt to break past your security questions because they have enough information to guess the answers. So why not make them up? Come up with the false name of a childhood best friend, your first street, favorite color etc. Record the fake answers somewhere safe for reference. It means Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are no longer a key to sensitive data.
