So, this naming game asks you to provide information that is often used in challenge questions for bank and credit card accounts and may be part of a larger social engineering scam, so be careful where you share it.

Ick. You're right, EuroMeinke.

Can this thread either be eliminated or whisked down below? Thanks and sorry for not thinking this through.

True. But for anybody who might fall afoul of that, you shouldn't ever truthfully answer any security question where you get to define the answer.

I randomly pick from the provided that will allow it and always say the same passphrase is the answer regardless of the question.

So it could ask "What high school did you graduate from" and my answer would be "hot dog bun".

I used to answer the "The name of your first pet" question with "Ms. July" but then I actually had to use it and I felt pretty stupid telling the nice lady on the phone "Ms. July"
