A change to this value takes affect the next time a user enters their response while resetting their password or while maintaining the response to a question. Enter 00 - 50 for this value. Please note that 00 = No Restriction.

Case sensitive

This field defines whether the answer to questions will have to be case sensitive or not. Enter one of the following values:

  • Blank = Answer is case sensitive

NOTE: Using the "Case Sensitive" feature in conjunction with "Same Answer Allowed" set to 'N' can cause unexpected results. When setting the "Same Answer Allowed" value to 'N' for a Language, all questions within the Language should have the same "Case Sensitive" setting (all questions set to 'N' or all questions set to '_').
