CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 77

A technician is installing a private PC in a public workspace.
Which of the following password practices should the technician implement on the PC to secure network access?

Answer options

• A. Remove the guest account from the administrators group
• B. Disable single sign-on
• C. Issue a default strong password for all users
• D. Require authentication on wake-up

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Requiring authentication on wake-up ensures that only authorized users can access the PC after it has been idle, enhancing security. Removing the guest account from the administrators group does not directly secure network access as it does not address how the PC is accessed after being idle. Disabling single sign-on may inconvenience users without significantly improving security, and issuing a default strong password for all users can lead to security risks if users do not change it.
