using a question; use a phrase that reminds you of something else. Then choose
the "something else" as the answer.

As a (lame) example to the custom question, you may have a favorite food. That

food may have some ingredient that stands out the most, that you really enjoy.

Let's say you love BLTs (bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches). Going from that,

think of something broad that could mean anything, like BACON.

You can have "Bacon?" as the question, and then have "BLT" as the answer.

Something similar to that.

You could even add your favorite number(s) to the end of that to make it even

more confusing and exclusive. So in that case, the question could be "Bacon

Numbers?" and the answer would be "BLT44" or what ever your favorite number

may be.

Obviously the above is just an example, but it should spark some creative ideas

that allow you to really secure your email account from any potential break-in

attempts via guessing the account security question's answer.

There may also be rare instances where you can bypass the creation of the

security question. While this may seem convenient, it can lead to disaster later

on down the road - especially if you end up forgetting your password.

It's STRONGLY advised that you take the extra time to choose a security question

and an answer at the creation of your account so as to not end up forgetting later
on in the future.
