Forgot Password - Security Questions + New Password

UX Comments

In the original NetID management "Forgot Password" function, answering your security questions and creating your new password was on the same screen. UX recommends splitting these two functions on different screens. This allows the user to complete two separate functions on two separate screens without having a large page to read the instructions.

~~After development expressed scope concerns for this change a one-page design may be used as a temporary solution.~~

Security Questions

The user is prompted to answer 2 of their 5 security questions.

New Password

Possibly going to add a feature where there will be a javascript function that checks if the user completes all three hints in their password creation process.
- Hint 1 and 2 are easily do-able, however, hint 3 might not be possible with javascript.

Forgot Password - Password Changed

UX Comments
This is the confirmation screen to confirm that their password has been changed. The user will get an email confirmation sent to their personal/recovery email. This screen is the same visually in the Change NetID Password flow.
