The 
Question and Answer
 (
QnA
) authentication mechanism can either be used as a secondary authentication method for CA Auth ID PKI Download
,
 or Forgot Your Password (FYP) authentication, or can be used as an independent authentication type.
In this mechanism, the user can either set their own set of questions and answers during the QnA creation stage, or your application can choose to ask pre-defined questions to the user. The maximum number of questions to be set, the number of questions to be asked to the user, and the minimum correct answers to be collected during authentication are all configurable parameters and can be set by using the Administration Console.
CA Strong Authentication provides a facility called 
caller verification
, which enables you to collect the answers from the user, verify the answers, and then send the verification result to the CA Strong Authentication Server.
