Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hidden user name and password in the system is referred to as a back door, as it allows developers or other authorized persons to gain access to the system even if they don't have the normal login credentials. A Trojan horse is a type of malware disguised as a legitimate program. A key logger is a type of malware that records keystrokes. A spoof is an attempt to deceive or trick a system or user, often by pretending to be someone or something else. None of these terms accurately describes a hidden login for system maintenance.
