In one's member profile there is a place where a "secret question" and response may be entered.
If one has difficulty in logging in due to a forgotten password this can be invaluable for regaining access.
Hopefully, most of us will never need to use this.
However, if this section has not been activated it will be unavailable.

To set up this secret question...
Click on the "Profile" tab when logged in.
On the left sidebar look for "Modify Profile"
Click on "Account Related Settings"
Near the bottom of the choices you will find the secret question / answer fields.
Fill in whatever you choose.
Click on the "Change Profile" button at lower right.

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.
