Windows 11 authentication is just bizarre. You are forced to enter three security questions for account recovery when you create a new user.
That's incredibly stupid and poses an actual security risk 🤦
Please, if you do this: don't pick actual answers to these questions. Instead enter a random token, write it down and store it safely.

@fribbledom I think this was already the case for Windows 10.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciated! I guess if Windows is consistent about one thing, it's its inconsistency 🙈

1. Disable password for new account
2. Login to new user
3. create Password
Result: and you dont need to answer these questions

That's an interesting situation, as it sounds like that actually made your security question less secure 😆🤔

@fribbledom @TheConstructor I had an account recovery via phone once.
„Please tell me the answer to your third security question“
„We both know the answer - really want me to spell out all 128 characters for you to compare?“
„Ok, I’ll take this as proof“
Just an old goat
@fribbledom I *despise* these.

@fribbledom I usually make up bullshit answers. For example, for a question like, "What's your favorite car?" I might enter, "The one that runs" or "The oneI don't owe money on". Never give real answers to security questions.
