When authentication is done correctly they got no reasons to deny OP requests coz of that security questions and and phone number are registered and in some cases fingerprint too, thats why i also mentioned that there should be an even tighter policy defining all those restrictions in terms of an emergency situation like hacking of an account. | |

Copy edited (but the last sentence requires more work). (its = possessive, it's = "it is" or "it has". See for example <http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Its-and-It%27s>.)
