Bad idea: a character who cannot use any common password reminder questions.
* they have never had a pet
* no mother's maiden name, no mother: they have two fathers, neither of who changed their name.
* they were homeschooled, so no high-schools and first grade teachers (arguable)
* they've never been on vacation
* they are not into music, so they have no favorite band.
* they haven't dated anyone
* they're colorblind so no favorite color
* they didn't go to college
* they don't drive -
* they were born, at home, in some unincorporated rural area. So no birth city or hospital name.
* for reasons unclear to them, their fathers do not like sharing any biographical information about themselves. So no "father's birth year" sorts of questions (also: which father?)
* they've not met their extended relatives. No grandma's name or oldest cousin.
* they don't really watch movies or TV: they have no favorite actors.
* (does anyone ask favorite author? Or is that too error prone) -
* they have never had a stuffed toy (awww)
* they are an only child, so they can't be asked about oldest sibling (or worse: youngest)
* they've had no children, because sometimes that one comes up
* they're a radical work abolitionist so they don't have a "dream job", you brainwashed capitalist scum.
* they're lactose intolerant and do not have a favorite flavor of ice cream -

* their childhood home didn't not have a landline, so no childhood number to ask about. Honestly that one isn't that weird, if they're young... Yeah it might not!
EDIT: I would like to thank my autocorrect for making me feel old because it thinks "landmine" is a more likely word to he typing in 2024 than the correct "landline"
Admittedly, it's probably just because I don't spell it with a dash

* can kill Macbeth (not a man of woman born)

@ozzelot whoops

@jmi one definitely was written in response to the other.
That's not even the only Macbeth reference in LOTR! "Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane". Shakespeare's answer: an army cuts down the forest and uses it for camouflage. Tolkien's answer: THE ENTS: TREE-MEN THAT WALK!

@foone The one about the favorite book or author is the only secure security question. Favorites change, or some people are too embarrassed by their favorite book so they lie about what it is to everyone.

@jackemled yeah I once had to go through a "forgot your password" that was nearly a decade old, that I'd made when I was 17. It was very hard to figure it out, and the bank teller had to give me WAYYY too many hints to get it
