Without security questions activated, myhrtoolkit users will be asked for their date of birth to validate their login credentials. Security questions give more choices by allowing users to choose from a variety of questions and specify answers that they are not likely to forget. Security questions are used when users try to recover forgotten passwords.
In this document, we cover how a Controller can enable security questions for their organisation and how users can use it.
Once enhanced security is activated, all users will be asked (the next time they login) to click on a link to setup security questions.
It is mandatory to answer at least ONE question. Answering two or three questions is recommended.
Users who can login into the system can amend their security questions by clicking on the Account at the top-right of the screen followed by the Security questions item.
A Controller can enable security questions in Config > Security Centre.
If the option is disabled as above, click “Disable” to enable security questions.
Users who can not login because they have forgotten answers to their security question can ask their controllers to reset security questions for them. After a reset by the controller, users can setup security questions afresh.
Controllers can reset security questions in Config > Security Centre.
The option to reset security questions is available only if security questions are enabled in your organisation. Click on the Actions button against the user’s name and reset their questions.
Users who can not login because they have forgotten both their password and the answer to their security question can ask their controllers to perform a reset for them.
Controllers should navigate to Config > Security Centre
From there, find the correct user and click on the Actions button.
Note – These have to be activated at the same time and in that order.
The user will then be able to specify new login and security details after following the time-limited reset link which will be emailed to them.
Even controllers are human! If a Controller finds they can not login because they have forgotten both their password and/or the answer to their security question, they can ask another of the controllers in their organisation to perform a reset for them (see above for details). An email with time-limited reset link will be emailed to them as with any user-lockout.
However, if no other controllers are available, or there is only controller registered on the HR system, this is a more complicated procedure and will require additional support from the myhrtoolkit support team.
