CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 228

Users currently access SaaS email with five-character passwords that use only letters and numbers. An administrator needs to make access more secure without changing the password policy. Which of the following will provide a more secure way of accessing email at the lowest cost?

Answer options

• A. Change the email service provider.
• B. Enable MFA with a one-time password.
• C. Implement SSO for all users.
• D. Institute certificate-based authentication.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enabling MFA with a one-time password significantly increases security by requiring an additional verification step beyond just the password. The other options either do not directly enhance security without changing the password policy or involve higher costs and complexity, such as switching service providers or implementing SSO.
