You can give users the option to set up recovery questions and/or to recover their password via email.
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace.
When in the Academy Workspace, select Academy Admin for all Academy Administration options.
Select Settings and then Control Panel.
From the list of options, select Member Settings.
Once you have clicked on Member Settings, go to Section B;
- For "Do you want to turn on the password recovery questions?" click on the toggle to select 'yes'
- For "Allow users to recover their password also via email" click on the toggle to select 'yes'
Note: This setting allows users to recover their password through security questions which they have to setup upon their first login. Users that don't have an email address set, can recover their password only through the academy login page.
Note: If multiple accounts share the same email address then the password recovery will display an error. By providing one email address that is shared across multiple Schoox accounts, there is no way to tell which Schoox account is the correct one. Since the recovery questions are connected with Schoox accounts and not email addresses, the functionality will not work in those cases.
If there were users who were logged into the academy prior to enabling the password recovery questions, they will be asked to choose the three questions upon their next login.
Also, If users would like to edit their password settings, they can always click on their profile picture and select Settings.
