You can use security questions as an extra level of security when your clients contact you, in order to verify their identify. You can then prompt them for the answer to the question they selected.

When resetting their password from the client area, the system will prompt the client to select their security question and enter the answer before creation of a new password.

You will need to add your security questions before your clients can use this feature. To do that, go to Configuration () > System Settings > Security Questions. From here, you can see your existing security questions and how many clients are using them, add new questions, and delete any unused questions.

To add a new question, type in the available text box and press save changes. This will add the security question to the system.

The system prompts clients to choose and answer a security question when registering, modifying their account password, or requesting a new password.

You cannot delete Security Questions that are in use.
