Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administrators randomly generating passwords is not a realistic policy in a real life network setting. The administrators would be bogged down with user requests for passwords as well as supporting users who had forgotten their password.
Key Takeaway: Of all the choices, using alphanumeric, special-case, numeric, expiration-dated passwords are safest. Setting a lockout policy for incorrect attempts also keeps the passwords safe.
