Answer Description

A password policy is the set of rules used to define how users create and maintain their passwords within an organization. This policy establishes the minimum requirements for password complexity, such as the use of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, and the frequency at which passwords must be changed. This helps to prevent unauthorized access by ensuring that passwords are sufficiently complex and changed regularly. Other options do not directly apply to user credentials and their security requirements.
