I fill them with nonsense words unrelated to the question. Mother's maiden name? Fire truck. First car? Air conditioner.

If I have to call a company they always ask me why. The explanation is anyone who has me as a Facebook friend can figure out who my first girlfriend was, my maternal grandmother's first name, my mother's maiden name, where I was born, my first car, etc. And if every company has the same data, a data breach at one makes the entire system fall apart.

Same here. But recently, United airlines changed their system to only allow selecting from a list (your favorite dog breed ? Choose 1 of 8. Your favorite movie genre? Choose one of 12). I picked a random set and wrote it in my password stash.

Seriously bad security practices.
