Ideal MFA:
Something you have.
Something you know.
Something you are.
If getting married, add:
Something blue.

Fun fact i frequently use the word blue as my security question answers. Not all of them but enough that even if a person got to “know” me enough to know what city I was born, they wouldn’t know which answers are true or which are blue.

I use my password manager to generate the answer. My mothers maiden name is CzyHcjMKMfwT4tZ7HXbavQrOPo and my first pet was Avhu6FqPTRsWwafA, but we called him Avhu for short.

I used to make them quite long until I was asked to confirm my identity over the phone using one once hahaha.
Now they’re max 10 alphanumeric characters and all lower case but still random.

All of that and the IRS will still ask what street your first pets mom died on.

Yeah security questions like that are the dumbest goddamn thing. “Create a super secure password that no one can guess, and enter the answers of five trivia questions about yourself that are likely in the public record about you or that you’ll happily reveal in small talk with strangers just in case you forget that super secure password.”
