CyberArk Trustee – Privileged Access Management — Question 78

What is the primary purpose of One Time Passwords?

Answer options

• A. Reduced risk of credential theft
• B. More frequent password changes
• C. Non-repudiation (individual accountability)
• D. To force a 'collusion to commit' fraud ensuring no single actor may use a password without authorization.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because One Time Passwords are designed to enhance security by minimizing the risk of credential theft, as they are only valid for a single transaction or session. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the primary purpose of One Time Passwords, as they focus on different aspects of security or accountability rather than the immediate protection against unauthorized access.
