But how could a user sign-in if they're being prompted for the question they don't know the answer to?
This question from a year ago has a reply from Josh indicating it's possible via the API:https://support.okta.com/help/answers?id=9062A000000QuItQAK
This seems like a pretty important feature to have. Currently I've got to figure out how to setup an API client and generate a request when all I need to do is reset a security question that a user has forgotten. I don't really have the time to spend on things like this!Looks like it's been raised as an idea quite a few times in recent years too. Any idea if it's on the roadmap?

I am having the same issue with a user and have no way to reset their security question!
