Selected Answer: AE
I was thinking why answer is AE and this is how GPT explained this: Other options are incorrect because: B is false: Password managers do not typically use internal firewalls. C is misleading: Storing passwords locally is not inherently secure unless properly encrypted; antivirus isn't part of password manager design. D is incorrect: Password managers do not inherently provide a second factor—2FA is a separate feature. Hope it's helpful for you, guys

A is definitely not correct. The question is "reduce the chance of a hacker STEALING (not login! not guesing)". It doesn't matter how strong password is to steal it. if you can steal "qwerty" you can steal "JHGJHBHBndfjdn$%%%kdfmke282828"!

1-Something you have (CAC-card, Token [RandomKeygen]) + 2-Something you know (PIN / PWD) + 3-Something you are (Username / (Bio) - Retina-scan or Fingerprint = Multifactor. Typically tools (processes) in a compromised anything will NOT continue to function = A&D

E is correct as you can generally copy and paste pwds from a password manager and thus this prevents against keystroke logging

Correct A E E Assumes that the Admin doesn't know there is a compromised device on network. If there is one it will prevent it from logging keyboard presses and stealing the password

A is correct. E assumes that administrator know the compromised computer. How is that going to happen?

The "compromised" device here is is the web site on which the user has to log. So he knows which one it is of course (since it is under his supervision). By preventing keystroke logging, he protects against pwd thefts.
