Johnny Five-Jaces posted:Likely because they’re dumb BUT the best practice for KBAs (those kinds of questions used as a secondary authentication method) recommend you not answer them truthfully because that makes them harder to social engineer. Thankfully most places are getting away from those in favor of actual multi factor authentication While this sounds like good security advice, it's actually a great way to get locked out of a very important account. I only say this because I've seen it happen. The best advice is to use a password manager.

Yeah, it sounds stupid to be asked “Have you tried a reboot or powered it off and back on?” but many people who consider themselves “tech savvy” don’t even try it because it couldn’t possibly be the solution. And I’ve seen it be the solution more times than I’d like to think about.
