A security analyst needs to improve the company’s authentication policy following a password audit. Which of the following should be included in the policy? (Choose two.)
The correct answers are:
A. Length
B. Complexity
Explanation:
Length (A) and Complexity (B) are fundamental components of a strong password policy. Increasing password length and requiring a mix of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special symbols) significantly enhances security by making passwords harder to crack.
Least privilege (C) is an access control principle, not directly related to password policies.
Something you have (D), Security keys (E), and Biometrics (F) are related to multi-factor authentication (MFA), which is a separate security measure and not part of the password policy itself.
Thus, Length and Complexity are the most relevant elements to include in an improved authentication policy following a password audit.
A. Length:
Description: A longer password is generally more secure, as it increases the number of possible combinations that an attacker would need to guess or brute-force.
Policy Implementation: Requiring a minimum length for passwords (e.g., 12 or more characters) significantly improves security.
B. Complexity:
Description: Complexity ensures that passwords include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. This makes passwords less predictable and harder to crack.
Policy Implementation: Requiring complexity prevents users from choosing weak or easily guessable passwords like "password123."
