The IT department has setup a website with a series of questions to allow end users to reset their own accounts. Which of the following account management practices does this help?
A. Account Disablements B. Password Expiration C. Password Complexity D. Password Recovery
Answer: D
Explanation: People tend to forget their own passwords and because a user’s password in not stored on the operating system, only a hash value is kept and most operating systems allows the administrator to change the value meaning that the password can then be recovered. If you allow end users to reset their own accounts then the password recovery process is helped along.
