Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brute-force attacks rely on trying every possible combination of characters, so a long and complex password makes it harder for attackers to guess. A password that is only long but not complex (e.g., "111111") is vulnerable to a brute-force attack, while a password that is complex but not long (e.g., "aA%1!") can be cracked quickly. Therefore, both A and B are necessary to defeat brute-force attacks.
