Question

analyzing password strength
lauren and her parents reviewed the lesson information on how to stay safe online. when lauren told her parents that she had been using the password \computer1\ for all of her online accounts, her mother suggested that she change it.
why did lauren’s mother suggest she change her password?

• it could be easily guessed.
• it contained personal information.
• it contained only one number.
• it contained too many letters.

Explanation:

To determine why Lauren's mother suggested changing the password, we analyze the password "Computer1". A password like this (using a common word + a number) can be easily guessed by others, especially since it's used for all online accounts. The other options: it doesn't contain obvious personal info (just "Computer" and "1"), the number of numbers or letters isn't the main issue for weakness here. So the main reason is it could be easily guessed.

Answer:

A. It could be easily guessed
