Q&A:
How this will increase security even for Non-2FA Users?
- Security questions offer an additional layer of protection for all users, including those who do not enable 2FA. Even without 2FA, users are required to set up security questions during registration or account settings, enhancing the overall security of their accounts.

- If you lose your security quesiton, you may ask for an account password reset with all information required, related to your account and last actions, either way you'll be security locked as always.
