Ah yes, many fond memories of my dog dumfyg-gycpid-8Vujmi

Good ol dumfyg. I've bad a hard time pronouncing their name to service reps over the phone when locked out of an account.
In the future, people will name themselves XÆA-12 so even their login can’t be guessed.
You could just say "it's some gibberish" to restore the account.
"What was your first dog's name?"

"Oh, something random."

"Ah yes, correct, welcome back."

That's why people should make up something believable like "Mr. Poop Muffins"
