Security Fundamentals — Question 28

Many Internet sites that you visit require a user name and password.
How should you secure these passwords?

Answer options

• A. Save them to a text file
• B. Enable session caching
• C. Configure the browser to save passwords
• D. Save them to an encrypted file
• E. Reuse the same password

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because storing passwords in an encrypted file provides a layer of security, protecting them from unauthorized access. Options A, C, and E are insecure practices that expose passwords to potential theft, while option B, enabling session caching, does not secure passwords but rather retains session data temporarily.
