* '''Default Security Code''' - A hard-coded value to be entered when users request new passwords.
* '''Activation link life span''' - Works with the @activationlink@ [[Password Variables to Set or Reset User Passwords|password variable]]. If the '''<nowiki>http://@url@@activationlink@</nowiki>''' syntax is used in the ''Request Password'' section of [[User Email Templates]], this setting sets the duration that the activation link will be valid.
:'''Note:''' An example of a good challenge question would be something that is simple, memorable, can't be guessed easily, and won't change over time.
===Rules for Password Activation Settings===
The following rules apply to the above settings when users request new passwords:
* If a default security code has been entered and no challenge questions have been entered, the user will be prompted to enter the default security code.
* If a default security code has been entered and challenge questions have been entered, the user will only be prompted to answer a challenge question.
* If neither a default security code nor challenge questions have been entered, the user will be presented with [[CAPTCHA]] validation.
