Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Explanation (Correct): While users often prefer passwords that are easy to remember, from a security perspective, strong passwords may be more difficult to remember. Explanation (Incorrect Options): A) Length: Longer passwords are generally more secure as they increase the possible combinations an attacker would need to try. B) Complexity: Complex passwords, including a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, make them more difficult to guess or crack. D) Uniqueness: Using unique passwords for different accounts reduces the risk of multiple accounts being compromised if one password is breached.Discussion
