Use a Gasser password generator, like the one in Multics[1], to make password that are easier to pronounce, but still long and complex enough to offer some value as security challenge answers.
You can read 'mettlograter' or 'donetrapalyn' over the phone as easily as you can type them, and they're much better than '/1a!P:l3', which has approximately the same complexity.

For security questions, to avoid social engineering, you are better off using real, but incorrect answers and saving those. So for favorite food, put brocolli instead of your actual favorite food and rather than nonsensical answers.
Big pain the few times I've had to read over the phone a giant randomized string, but the phone reps always seem to think it's funny.
