CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 476

An employee has been using the same password for multiple applications and websites for the past several years. Which of the following would be best to prevent security issues?

Answer options

• A. Configuring firewall settings
• B. Implementing expiration policies
• C. Defining complexity requirements
• D. Updating antivirus definitions

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Implementing expiration policies ensures that passwords are changed regularly, reducing the risk of unauthorized access if a password is compromised. The other options, while important for security, do not directly address the risks associated with long-term use of the same password across multiple platforms.
