       Security question for Barnes & Noble: who is your favorite author?I think I'll skip that one, since I talk about them publicly now and then.

       @nantucketlit "security questions" like this are all insecure if you follow the directions. Every single one of them is a breach risk.Read the prompt as "auxiliary password". Pick a prompt, save that in your password file. Generate a real random passphrase. Save that in the service and in your password file.Anything else is a security risk.

       Really, all these security questions are sort of useless. Any clever person could figure them out.
