Google Security Question

Hi guys,

Just been doing some routine security maintenance on a couple of my Gmail accounts and I notice that the security question field in the accounts has gone?

Is this a new, system-wide thing?

Thanks.

Thanks mate! 2014, that's weird, I've literally just deleted a Security Question from my Mum's accounts - albeit inadvertently, but I can't replace it.

Thanks for the link.

Oddly my main account still has the question set, only just noticed.

I'm assuming these are old settings though and can't be changed without losing them?

Changing the question would be pointless because it can't be used to recover the account. Best to delete it.
