For security answers I let my password manager generate a Multi Word Phrase you can easily spell out in a phone conversation. Store those in my password manager under my account. Someone told me he had to go through a converstation with Apple Support spelling out 3 random 20+ characater passwords and it was a nightmare. I immediatly switched tactic.

Regretfully Apple has an annoying bug that the dialogboxes accepts 5-word phrases, but only remember the first 32characters, 3 words or something alike. Very stressfull when you’re trying to recover a password.
