Hi community, Quick question. I'm trying to turn off "Enable Password Reset" but when I uncheck the box in the webapp and try to hit 'Apply' nothing happens. I tried changing my reset questions...

Quick question. I'm trying to turn off "Enable Password Reset" but when I uncheck the box in the webapp and try to hit 'Apply' nothing happens. I tried changing my reset questions to have answers generated from my password keeper (with the checkmark ticked) and when I went to hit 'Apply' nothing happens.
So does that mean if I want to change anything Password Reset related I am forced to change my password (as presumably that would allow the system to let me apply the change(s))? I also tried unchecking the Enable Password Reset box with my current password entered into the 'Old Password' box - with no impact to the above.
Thanks for any insight!
P.S. - I'd try to see if I got a better or different result from the iOS app but right now it's just crashing as soon as FaceID authenticates into the app so that's a non-starter.
Lets see here...
