What's Your Mother's Maiden Name?

That’s a pretty common security question. Others include your pet’s name, your high school, your dream car, your favorite band, etc.

Blogging, Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm and just about every service under the sun put the answers to these question’s at anyone’s finger tips. It doesn’t take more than a simple search.

I’ve started making all of my answers more generic. What’s my mother’s maiden name? Radiohead, of course. But even that’s not random, or creative enough.

I want a service that does this for me. I want it completely randomized. Make it impossible for anyone to answer these questions.

I have a password that everyone knows— but the same shouldn’t go for my security questions.
