Step 3 - Configure your Security Questions

We require all users to set up security questions when logging in to PWM for the first time. You create the first question and answer, then you select the following three questions from our dropdown menus and provide your own answers. The system will alert you if you use the same answer twice or if one of your answers is too short. If your answers are acceptable, you will see a blue bar near the top of the page that will inform you that you are ready to click Save Answers when ready.
