Which two guidelines are appropriate for creating strong passwords? (Choose two.)
- Use at least eight characters.
- Include letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Change the password once each year.
- Use only upper case and numeric values in passwords.
- Passwords should contain symbols only.
| Explanation & Hint:
Strong passwords should be at least eight characters, and should include upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Although passwords should be changed regularly as specified in the local security policy, the amount of time between changes has no effect on the creation of strong passwords. Limiting a password to only symbols, or to only numbers and upper case letters, does not provide the strongest password possible. |
