Security questions not accepting your answers
Security questions are picky about exact matches — capitalization, spaces, and punctuation all matter. The answer you remember now can not be exactly how you typed it back then. Try different variations of your answer — with capitals, without capitals, with or without articles like 'the' or 'a'.
Security questions are a way to prove you're really you if you can't sign in. The problem is that the answer you remember now has to match exactly what you entered years ago, including capitals and punctuation. One small difference and it won't accept it. You can try variations of your answer, or skip to a different recovery method if you have a phone number or backup email on your account.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
