Property Value
true if a password answer is required for password reset and retrieval; otherwise, false. The default is true.Requiring a password question and answer provides an additional layer of security when retrieving or resetting a user's password. When creating a user name, a user can supply a question and answer that can later be used to retrieve or reset a forgotten password. If the EnablePasswordReset property and the EnablePasswordRetrieval property are both false, the value of the RequiresQuestionAndAnswer property is irrelevant.
For more information, see ResetPassword and GetPassword.
