Password hints

Does anyone have advice for what sort of questions might be allowable or
wise to use for password challenge-response in the event someone forgets
their password? I think recent guidelines have ruled out using your
mother's maiden name and other old standards.

How have you handled this at your campus?

 

Thanks, Ian
