Remarks

If RequiresQuestionAndAnswer is true, then the password answer for a membership user must be supplied to the GetPassword and ResetPassword methods. The PasswordQuestion serves as a reminder to the membership user of what their password answer is. Once the membership user has supplied a password answer, the answer value can be supplied to the GetPassword or ResetPassword method.
