CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U71) — Question 34

A user logs in with the same credentials across multiple websites. Which of the following password policies would most likely prevent this practice?

Answer options

• A. Reuse
• B. Complexity
• C. Privacy
• D. Length

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Reuse' policy specifically addresses the issue of using the same password across different platforms by prohibiting users from reusing previously utilized passwords. The other options, such as 'Complexity', 'Privacy', and 'Length', focus on different aspects of password security but do not directly prevent the practice of using identical credentials on multiple sites.
