Answer / guest
Answer: A
Initial password assignment should be done discretely by the
security administrator. Passwords should be changed often
(e.g., every 30 days), however, changing should not be
voluntary. It should be required by the system. Systems
should not permit previous passwords(s) to be used again.
Old passwords may have been compromised and would thus
permit unauthorized access. Passwords should not be
displayed in any form.
