I used to just have a standard complex sentence memorized as my security question reply. No matter what question is asked, I type the properly formatted sentence, with capitalizations and punctuations in all the right places.

The question itself is useless for anyone who is trying to data mine me for access. If they don't know the sentence I use, and exactly how it's formatted, then they'll never get in. I would usually just pick random questions because it doesn't really matter.

Bonus: Most people don't use proper punctuation, spelling, and/or capitalization online anymore. So even if they learn the sentence, figuring out how to format it correctly will pose a challenge. Unless they're an English teacher (or a bibliophile).

    My bank has us set up a verbal password to have the tellers do shit for us over the phone. They have a note in mine that if I only say the password and don't sing it it's incorrect. I change the lyrics/password like once a year.
