Single Answer
0Henry is an employee at Acme Company. The company requires him to change his password every three months. He has trouble remembering new passwords, so he keeps switching between just two passwords. Which policy would be most effective in preventing this?
Answer Options
A
Password complexity
B
Password history
C
Password length
D
Multifactor authentication
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
If the system maintains a password history, that will prevent any user from reusing an old password. Password complexity and length are common security settings but would not pre- vent the behavior described. Multifactor authentication helps prevent brute-force attacks and reduces the potential impact of stolen passwords but would not help with this scenario.
