Which of the following aspects of a password security policy can help you to decrease the probability that a password can be guessed?
  1. Long password
  2. Short password
  3. Alphanumeric password
  4. Passwords with numbers, alphabets, and special characters
Explanation
Answer: D - Using passwords with numbers, alphabets, and special characters decreases the chances of the password being guessed.

Key Takeaway: Using passwords with numbers, alphabets, and special characters is less prone to password guessing, dictionary, and brute force attacks. It makes it that much harder for a hacker to guess a password from different combinations of special characters, numbers, and alphabets available with case sensitivity.
