Identity Verification

Identity Verification

My company buildersacademy.com is put our courses on-line using Moodle. The sticking point is that The Texas Real Estate Commission requires the students to periodically verify their identity by answering security questions IE drivers licence number, favorite color, ETC.

I know that I could create a quiz and place it at the interval needed, but is there any way to auto populate this so that we could avoid having to rewrite the class for each student?

Ideally the student could answer the questions when enrolling, and whatever method used would serve to verify


Thanks From Texas!

I don't konw if anyone has come up with a work-around to these stupid govenment-imposed requirements. I am not aware of anything. I would try contacting the various US Moodle partners.

It can be done with Privacyidea (https://www.privacyidea.org/).

You are actually asking for a two factor authentication with as second factor a list of questions: https://privacyidea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/tokens/questionnaire.html

You could e.g. use SimpleSAMLphp and the auth_saml2 Moodle plugin as first factor.

Hi Thomas, you might want to take a look at our new MFA plugin which lets you set up security questions on login as well as other factors and it works with any exisitng authentication plugin.
https://moodle.org/plugins/tool_mfa

We're also working on a security questions plugin that allows you to prompt the user with security questions when they try to perform certain actions, such as changing or recovering passwords. at this stage it only operates on the Moodle Password reset page, but could be extended easily to other forms.
You can see this plugin as a work in progress in our git repository here:
