A system administrator configures a security policy that requires all users to change their passwords every 90 days. Which of the following password best practices does this policy enforce?
Password expiration is a policy that requires users to change their passwords after a set period, such as 90 days, to limit the time a compromised password remains valid. Password complexity refers to the requirements for characters, such as uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Password history prevents users from reusing their most recent passwords. Password reuse is the practice of using the same password across different sites, which is discouraged.
