FC0-U61 Exam - Question 118


Ann, a user, wants to ensure that if her credentials are compromised, they cannot be used to access all of her logins or accounts. Which of the following best practices should she implement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

To ensure that compromised credentials cannot be used across all accounts or logins, Ann should implement password complexity. This practice involves creating unique, complex passwords for each account, making it difficult for attackers to use a compromised password to access other accounts. Complexity ensures each password is different and hard to guess, increasing overall security.

password reuse is actually what she should NOT do. password history maybe?

It should be called "password individualization" or something, reuse is the MISTAKE

password complexity

That's a tricky one: A. Password History: determines the number of unique new passwords that must be associated with a user account before an old password can be reused. B. Password length: set minimum password length to at least a value of X C. Password reuse: use the same password across different online services D. Password complexity: how difficult a password is to guess in relation to any number of guessing or cracking methods. In some cases, the term is also used to refer to requirements for password selection that are designed to increase password complexity in the interest of better security. My two coins: Reuse is definitely not the measure that improves security. Length is just the length of the password; could different requirements in Ann's account result to different passwords? History, if enabled might result to different passwords across different services? Complexity, that would be my answer. Different complex passwords across different services.
