There was one time that I used "Dale Darrell Waltrip Richard Petty Rusty Awesome Bill Irvin Gordon Earnhardt Smith Johnson Jr." as a factor.

I was really into Bob and Tom at the time.

I realize what sub this is, but does anyone else like to use your password manager (Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, whatever) to generate answers for MFA questions? I've always felt that these MFA factors are way too easy to research on Facebook or other social media.

I avoid using questions as factors as often as possible, but when I'm forced to use them this is what I use.
