• Chose AF2

  The correct answers are: A. Increasing the minimum password length to 14 characters F. Including a requirement for at least one special character Explanation: A. Increasing the minimum password length to 14 characters: Longer passwords are harder to guess or brute-force, making them more secure. F. Including a requirement for at least one special character: Adding special characters increases password complexity, reducing the likelihood of successful guessing or brute-force attacks. Other Options: B. Upgrading the password hashing algorithm from MD5 to SHA-512: This improves how passwords are stored but doesn’t directly prevent weak passwords from being used.

  A. Increasing the minimum password length to 14 characters F. Including a requirement for at least one special character Rationale: Increasing password length: Exponentially increases password complexity Makes brute-force attacks more difficult Longer passwords are harder to guess Adding special character requirement: Increases password entropy Adds complexity to password creation Reduces predictability of password patterns Why other options are less effective: Upgrading hash algorithm (B) improves storage security but doesn't directly prevent weak passwords Increasing maximum password age (C) doesn't improve password strength Reducing password length (D) weakens password security Reducing minimum password age (E) allows more frequent password changes, which can lead to weaker passwords The goal is to create passwords that are both complex and memorable, making them resistant to both guessing and brute-force attacks.
