How to configure questions?

Introduction

Soffid allows to the administrator user, o the user with the proper roles, to configure the default questions that will be displayed to the end users.

Those questions will be the default questions, the end users could change them and configure other questions.

To enable the question functionality, the user needs to configure some parameters.

Next, end users must fill in the answers in the Soffid console to finally revocer the password on the login page.

Let's take a closer look at these steps.
