Yeah, I used to use randomly generated strings until a customer service rep asked me to recite my security question answer to them... Now I use something like Diceware for real words.

That's excellent, I had no idea that existed, I'll have to start using that. Though it is fun to do a game of security question chicken - how much letters are they going to listen to me say until they go "ok, that's good enough"?

Customer Rep.: "What is your mother's maiden name?"

Scammer: "I just entered a bunch of garbage."

Customer Rep.: "Yup! Thanks for verifying that Mr. Smith!"

"A bunch of garbage" is actually kind of a fun answer in itself. "Who was your childhood best friend?" "A bunch of garbage."

Haha that's pretty funny. "Who was your first college roommate?" "A bunch of garbage."
