"[Security questions are] intended to foil someone pretending to be you, by asking questions that only you should know the answer to. Some places invert this and actually advise you to put something that is completely wrong (but that nobody would guess) as the answer, for example if the question is "What is your birthday?" put "Puppy", so that if the pretender does find out your info they can't get into your accounts."

@thelastgherkin Given that most security questions default to incredibly obvious personal data, yes, most of the time you're better off just treating them as a second "please enter a password" field.
