May 22, 2018 at 21:15 comment added user173641 Honestly, I think it depends with each user. On webites which require me to answer a security question I select the most obscure question I can and I just set the answer to some random characters (like another password) that way it's not something that could be SE'd (in theory). I am not convinced they help especially if you use the same password everywhere. (I don't and I don't really use social media so)
