CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 130

In which two ways does a password manager reduce the chance of a hacker stealing a user's password? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It encourages users to create stronger passwords
• B. It uses an internal firewall to protect the password repository from unauthorized access
• C. It stores the password repository on the local workstation with built-in antivirus and anti-malware functionality
• D. It automatically provides a second authentication factor that is unknown to the original user
• E. It protects against keystroke logging on a compromised device or web site

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because a password manager encourages users to create stronger passwords, which are harder for hackers to guess or crack. Option E is also correct as it helps protect against keystroke logging, reducing the chances of passwords being captured. Options B, C, and D do not directly contribute to reducing the risk of password theft in the same way.
