Your boss asks you to send a memo to the company on recommended password practices for company computers. Besides recommending the best types of passwords, you want to describe which practices to avoid when creating a passwork. Which of the following practices do you recommend against? Choose two.
  1. Using the same password for every login.
  2. Incorporating symbols into passwords.
  3. Using different passwords for different logins.
  4. Not being able to remember all of the passwords.
Explanation
Answer: A and D - Using the same password for every login increases the risk that all of your logins will be compromised if one is compromised. While it is a good practice to use multiple passwords, forgetting a password may slow your access to a necessary program and possibly result in an unnecessary intervention by the IT department.

Key Takeaway: Educating users on standard password practices will help prevent poor password practices and reduce unneeded utilization of resources.
