I’m probably not a regular user but my first pet’s name, the city I was born in, my first school and my childhood nicknames are also very long strings of characters 👌
Comment on Proportion blog: Are security questions terrible for account security?
summerof69@lemm.ee 8 months agono they are not, just another stupid article from proton. nothing stops you from saying that bwE0FpHb5iPzMZiismyeiTIWhoB*#V8SaD0F3R*SeH was your first pets name.
And how many regular people do that? Or does security apply only to advanced users?

Security is always porous. The article really had no suggestions really. They say 2FA but account recovery is often a combination of access to you email account or questions. None of this stuff is particularly secure.
