Creating Email Text for Incorrect Hint Responses

If a user provides an incorrect response to a password hint question, the system can automatically send an email notification to the user that indicates that they provided an incorrect response.

Use the Incorrect Hint Response Email Text page (EMAILHINTFAIL) to compose a generic message that the system sends to users if they enter an incorrect response to a password hint. To access the page select PeopleTools, and then Security, and then Password Configuration, and then Forgotten Password Email Text and click the Wrong Hint Response Email Text tab.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Incorrect Hint Response Email Text page.

Enter any message that suits your business requirements. Keep in mind that the same message is sent to all users who provide an incorrect password hint response.

You can change the delay between the processing of hint responses on the Password Controls page in the Seconds Delay Between field. See Setting Password Controls.
