CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 454

A user's phone contains customer's PII. The user cannot have the phone automatically wiped because the data is very valuable.
Which of the following is the BEST method of securing the phone?

Answer options

• A. Fingerprint lock
• B. Passcode lock
• C. Swipe lock
• D. PIN lock

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Passcode lock (B) is the most secure option because it requires a more complex and longer input than the other methods, providing better protection against unauthorized access. Fingerprint (A) and PIN lock (D) offer security but can be less reliable than a strong passcode. Swipe lock (C) offers minimal security and can be easily bypassed.
