Setting Up a Security Question for Your Account

Last Updated: 12/03/2015 Introduced in Verision: 2.0

A security question offers additional security when resetting or recovering a password for an account. When a user sets up a security question and provides an answer, the user can use that information to log in to the portal, then change the password. Users set up account security for themselves.

The Administrator can add to the default list of security questions, under System > Settings > Portal Settings.
