Question

Which of the following should be incorporated into a reasonably secure password policy that balances security with usability? Check all that apply.

O A length of at least 8 characters
O A requirement to use dictionary words
O A password expiration time of 6-12 months
O A complexity requirement of special characters and numbers

Answer 1

First and last one

Step-by-step explanation:

A length of at least 8 characters

A complexity requirement of special characters and numbers

It is generally not recommended to require the use of dictionary words in passwords, as this can make it easier for attackers to guess the password using a dictionary attack. It is also generally not recommended to have a password expiration time that is too short, as this can lead to users selecting weaker passwords or writing down their passwords in order to remember them. Instead, it is recommended to use a password manager or to encourage users to use passphrases that are easy to remember but difficult for an attacker to guess.
