You can perform this task every time you want to update or change your questions and answers.
When the SSPR feature is enabled, you can define your questions (optional) and answers the first time that your Advanced Login is activated. Then you may need to modify this data in the following cases:

You can initialize the SSPR through the Self Service Admin Portal (see Self Service Admin Portal User Guide) or by using Advanced Login as detailed in the following procedure.
Procedure

Right-click the Advanced Login icon located in the notification area, and select Manage Security Questions.

You may have restrictions to define your questions/answers, as for example a minimum/maximum number of characters, words that you cannot use... If you do not know why your questions/answers are not accepted, contact your Quest ESSO administrator.
