    What is the first name of your first best friend?

    eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq

    Oh old eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq and I go way back! I met eoY&Z9m4LNRDY!Gzdd%q98LYiBi8Nq in Pre-K and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

    It is quite annoying if they’re a service that makes you read aloud your security questions to phone reps to prove your identity. One of my retirement accounts requires that and I have to sigh and read out the full string. I’ve changed it since to an all lowercase, 20 digit string as a compromise.

      20 character all lowercase is very secure as long as its random words / letters that would make it unguessable by knowing you.

      Edit: you could also prefix it if you think you’d have to read it
