CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 32

Recently, the number of users sharing smartphone passcodes has increased. The management team wants a technician to deploy a more secure screen lock method. Which of the following technologies should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. Pattern lock
• B. Facial recognition
• C. Device encryption
• D. Multifactor authentication

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Facial recognition is the most secure method among the options provided because it relies on biometric data, making it harder to share or replicate. Pattern locks can be easily observed and shared, while device encryption protects data but does not secure access directly. Multifactor authentication adds security but is not typically used as a primary screen lock method on smartphones.
