Situation

When answering challenge questions, users can reuse answers to challenge questions if the answer contains an upper case letter, but cannot reuse answers if the answer is all lower case.

SSPR will return an error saying answers cannot be reused in the following case:
Question 1 --> answer1
Question 2 --> answer1

SSPR will NOT return an error and will allow the duplicate answer in the following case:
Question 1 --> Answer1
Question 2 --> Answer1

Resolution

Fixed in SSPR 3.2.0.1 or newer.
