Unfortunately, we now have to make up different birth cities, maiden names,
and pet names for different accounts. It would be nice if we could just make
up a single unique word that would allow us to pass into each account. What
should we call it? hmmm

And adding my reply:  Unless it's an actual official form (School, Doctor's
etc) it doesn't matter what you put down.  I certainly didn't use my
mother's maiden name for the phone/power/cable company.  All that really
matters is that it match when you tell them the answer.

 

Yes, I was born in 'brownbox, ca' *

Her maiden name was 'somethingelse' *

My first pet's name was 'pinetree' *

* Note, actual answers my vary from person to person and this is only a
representitive sample.  Please consult an IT professional or your nearest
humour center if this is confusing.

  I'll cheat and copy my comments when I saw this in another forum:

  What's really hard is back-dating the legal documents to change your
mother's maiden name.

  I love these systems that require an 8 character password, with
upper/lower/digit/punctuation, changed every 90 days, but will also
unlock given information available in the public record.
