Handling personal security questions as passwords in LastPass

I think it would be great if the password items in LastPass would have:

1) a field to save one or more personal security questions (i.e. brand model and color of your first car, your mom's maiden name)

2) an option to generate a random set of answers to those security questions too (treat it like a password)

This would be helpful. Basically an unlimited number of additional 'passwords' with a description for each password. Or at least say 5 additional ones.

 

I never use actual answers to security questions since they are usually something that can be found with research. Security questions should have random answers and be handled just like passwords, other than the fact that they need someplace to record to which question the additional 'password' applies.

exactly. I use the "Notes" field currently to store the question and the random answer I generated for it, but I always go back to the thought that there should be a more elegant solution for it 🙂

I think the notes field is sufficient for this type of info.  The use-case varies too much from one institution to another.
