A. Maximum password age
B. Longer passwords
C. Force use of all four types of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols)
D. Computer generated passwords

Answer 1

B. Longer passwords

Step-by-step explanation:

If the password is longer, it requires more incorrect attempts to find it, so the system could identify a potential hacker attempt. Smaller but more complex passwords could be identified by mistype or forgotten passwords.
