    <title>Moodle Plugins directory: Security Questions: Comments</title>
    <link>https://moodle.org</link>
    <description>This plugin adds a framework for adding and enforcing security questions for users to perform a password reset. Currently it only operates on the Moodle Core 'Forgot Password' page, however it is easily extensible to other forms.

NOTE: This plugin only has native compatability with Moodle 3.8. For Moodle 3.7, MDL-66173 must be cherry-picked to allow the plugin to interact with Moodle. See Readme for more detailed instructions</description>

      <description>by Olaf Nöhring. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;
just did a complete first translation to German. I notice, that still english occurs (hardcoded probably):&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
a) When a users needs to set questions: &quot;It is required that you answer a minimum of 3 security questions.&quot;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
b) in https://mysite/admin/category.php?category=securityquestions : &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&quot;Lockout tier settings&lt;br&gt;
These settings allow you to add lockout tiers to Security Questions. Leave these settings as 0 to disable lockout tiers. If these settings are set, when a user triggers a lockout, they will instead be allowed to attempt security questions again after the duration specified for the tier. When a user triggers a lockout, they will move up a lockout tier. Lockouts will automatically be cleared after the duration specified in the lockoutexpiryduration control, if it is not set to 0.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Lockout tier one duration&lt;br&gt;
tool_securityquestions | tieroneduration&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
Length of time during a tier one lockout where a user cannot reattempt security questions.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Lockout tier two duration&lt;br&gt;
tool_securityquestions | tiertwoduration&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Length of time during a tier two lockout where a user cannot reattempt security questions.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Lockout reset reset time&lt;br&gt;
tool_securityquestions | lockoutexpiryduration&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
Length of time with no failed attempts before lockout is automatically cleared. Set to 0 to keep accounts locked until administrator reset.&quot;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
c) also strange: in https://mysite/admin/tool/securityquestions/set_questions.php a translation is not really translated. In the heading where it reads if active/unactive - the parameter still shows up:&lt;br&gt;
Aktiv - {$ a} zusätzliche Fragen erforderlich.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
same in https://mysite/admin/tool/securityquestions/set_responses.php&lt;br&gt;
Dauer der Nachfrist: {$ a}&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Olaf&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
