Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is recommended to immediately change the password given to a password of their own to ensure that it is unique and not easily guessable by an attacker. Using the same password given for all future authentication purposes is not secure as it increases the risk of password theft. Creating two passwords and switching back and forth between them can also create confusion and increase the likelihood of forgetting the passwords. Not changing passwords frequently can also increase the risk of password theft as attackers may have more time to crack the password.
