perhaps "challenge question" was the wrong description

the question is intended simply to remind the person of their password

the answer to the question is not stored

e.g. "what type of a dog did i have and what was the street number at my
first apartment when i moved out of my parents' house?"

the answer (schnauser53) is the password
