5. I never tell them the truth for security questions

My mother's maiden name is too easy to look up since I have genealogical info online. So I use a nickname that was not my mother's. My first pet - that is mentioned in the caption of one of the photos I have online. So the answer to that one is something completely made up. I used a cat's name for a niece or nephew question.

I've got about four answers that I use for various security questions and change about a little for different sites. None of them are real things that could be found by researching my life. None are close to the real answers for the questions.
