Many sites have challenge questions and images that must match a keyword as part of their security. Sometimes I use incorrect answers in my challenge questions so someone cannot look up readily available information about me and properly answer the security questions.
At present I can note the answers in the notes section, but you might consider incorporating such formally into future releases.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I always make up answers to these questions, and keep them in the Notes field. Since they're so varied, I don't see how this can be better formalized. If you have a more specific idea, I'd be glad to hear it.

I always generate random strings for these using the "Generate password" function.
For each institution, I create a group and place them as entries under the group.
E.g.
I have a group named "MyBank" with entries named ...
- "MyBank-1PW" containing the password
- "MyBank-MN" with a memorable name
- "MyBank-LS" with the name of my last school (the YTKVgVR%AFwfGc6 high school!)
etc. etc.
The password entry is called "1PW" so it always appears first, and that is the entry that contains the auto-type string, URL and any other notes I need.
Just my little system!

How about 3 pairs of fields below the notes in the dead space currently there. Make the left column about 2/3rds across, the right column the remaining space.
You could put a button next to each that copied to the clipboard the challenage answer.
Since my suggestion is to add feilds, I would add one more row here for a total of four. I like to keep the date when I created the password and a date for when I last updated it. I am aware of the modification date on the other tab. I find that I never go to the other tabs.
Another useful field would be phone number to
A - keep it out of the notes field
B - make it easy to copy out for use in skype (add a copy button)

Kudos to Alan for a nice system under the existing framework.
Although adding fields, as Mark suggests, is pretty straightforward, I really don't want to clutter up the dialog boxes any more than they already are. Need to think about this a bit.

Thanks for replies. Alan's system would work, but is problematic given the number of accounts I have.
