# Configuring User Security Questions on the MiSeq i100 and NovaSeq X Series Platforms
**Background**
Control Software User accounts have the option to configure Security Questions that can be used for Password Recovery. See the following steps to configure the Security Questions for specific User accounts on the MiSeq i100 and NovaSeq X Series instruments.
**Configure remote Illumina Run Manager access (MiSeq i100 Series only)**
The Security Questions can only be configured through the Illumina Run Manager user interface (UI), which is only accessible through remote access for the MiSeq i100 Series.
See Knowledge Article [How to Setup a Remote Connection to Illumina Run Manager on the MiSeq i100 Series Instruments](/instrumentation/miseq-i100-series/instrumentation-miseq-i100-series-reference_material-list/000009334.md) for configuration details before proceeding with configuring Security Questions.
