Additional Information
This prevents someone other than the user, resetting their network password and logging on and accessing SecureLogin data. The passphrase also prevents even administrators with supervisor access from viewing the users application passwords using administrative tools.
The passphrase is set when the user starts SecureLogin for the first time and you can predefine a list of questions so the user simply has to enter an answer (rather than them having to think of a question and answer). It prevents users from entering questions they won’t know the answer to or that are too easily guessed, such as:
What day of the week is it?
What movie did I watch last night?
