@alice Great advice! I also love using my password manager to save "answers" to security questions.
"Maiden name of mother"?
Easy: "fdsdkljf89rtu23he4orhweörfwer0weh334h234234"
"First dog's name"?
Ah, little "dfshfsdfui6z43207r2phreuihdesfs7d89fsdfsd9fsfdf" was so cute!
@wurzelmann @alice noone should answer any of these questions honestly!

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.
Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.
Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).
Using VPNs set to different locations.
Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.
Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.
If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.
@alice As a LibreWolf user, I have a question: what are ad trackers?

@wurzelmann @alice I do that too, but sometimes an account recovery flow requires you to answer the question over the phone. That gets awkward.
-
@wurzelmann @alice gonna have to fit some non-printable characters in there, I reckon.
I also love to incorporate a ";" in there, just to fuck with any CSV files if something gets leaked,

@wurzelmann @alice It's great until you have to answer those questions at a bank branch. Ask me how I know.
