Salesforce.com : Setting Password Policies - 'Obscure secret answer for password resets = true'

Information

This setting hides the secret answer associated with a password.

Solution

Where possible the secret answer should be obscured. NOTE: If your organization uses the Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) with the input mode set to Hiragana, when you type ASCII characters they're converted into Japanese characters in normal text fields. However, the IME does not work properly in fields with obscured text. If your organization's users cannot properly enter their passwords or other values after enabling this feature, disable the feature.
