I have another solution. I look normal online when filling out information. I use Facebook, whatever.

But whenever possible, I lie. Different name, birthdate, every question about "favorite pet"? A lie. "They" have tons of data on me, but more and more is wrong. Let it leak.

I use my password manager to maintain unique answers to all of the useless verification questions about pets, movies, teachers, etc. Only way to scale it.

I just use the noun in the question. The name of my pet is pet, my favorite movie is movie, and I attended High School. Add your own standard prefix if you want it impossible to guess. Nobody will know you attended “BLARG High School.”

Then this is something for you https://shop.digitalcourage.de/themen/ak-vorrat/lichtbildaus.... Either get it online, or buy at events like Chaos Computer Congress.
