Several employees have complained that their coworkers are working (or playing) on their computers when they are away from their desk. Due to the highly sensitive nature of work content, senior management wants the most secure method for locking computers when employees step away from their desks. You recommend that users:
  1. Log off each time they step away from the computer.
  2. Set screen savers to require passwords.
  3. Utilize the lock desktop feature.
  4. Use USB devices to provide hardware authentication.
Explanation
Answer: D - Hardware authentication is the most secure method from this list because it requires two components.

Key Takeaway: A small and portable USB device will contain a security key or token. When the device is plugged into the computer, a PIN is required. Both the PIN and the USB device are required in order to log in.
