Recently I’ve had the exam for the CompTIA Security+ Certification.
While practicing for the exam, I’ve had the following question.
Q:When setting password rules, which of the following will lower the level of security of a network ?
A: Complex passwords that users can not remotely changed are randomly generated by the administrator and given to users
Why ?
Very simple, actually 🙂
Because the users will write these passwords on stickers and hang them on their monitors 🙂
So, IT guys, please make your life simpler and let the users to change the passwords.
There you must definitely enforce some policies !
