Selected Answer: A
Password complexity refers to the requirements or rules set for creating a password that includes a combination of different character types such as numbers, special characters, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters. By enforcing password complexity, the system aims to enhance the security of user passwords. In this case, the message is instructing the user to include a combination of numbers, special characters, and letters in their password. By using a variety of character types, the resulting password becomes more resistant to common password cracking methods such as brute force or dictionary attacks.

Selected Answer: A
Password complexity refers to the practice of requiring passwords to meet certain criteria to make them stronger and more resistant to unauthorized access. The message instructs the user to create a password that includes a combination of numbers, special characters, and letters, which are characteristics commonly associated with a complex password. By using a combination of numbers, special characters (e.g., !, @, #, $, etc.), uppercase letters, and lowercase letters, the resulting password becomes more difficult to guess or crack using brute-force or dictionary attacks.

CompTIA is frustrating. My first thought here is that, this user is logging in not creating an account which would tell me this is the password age expiring. However, the question asks what the message describes which, leaving out the rest of the question, the message itself describes complexity.
