Detailed explanation-1: -You have been asked to give training on network security. For your section on password management, which options should you recommend to users? Change default passwords on systems and Do not reuse the same password after you are required to change it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The longer a password is, the better. Use at least 16 characters whenever possible. Make passwords that are hard to guess but easy to remember. To make passwords easier to remember, use sentences or phrases.

Detailed explanation-3: –Don’t use easily guessed passwords, such as “password” or “user.”-Do not choose passwords based upon details that may not be as confidential as you’d expect, such as your birth date, your Social Security or phone number, or names of family members.-Do not use words that can be found in the dictionary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antivirus software, originally designed to detect and remove viruses from computers, can also protect against a wide variety of threats, including other types of malicious software, such as keyloggers, browser hijackers, Trojan horses, worms, rootkits, spyware, adware, botnets and ransomware.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reusing the same passwords for multiple accounts is bad practice because it opens you up to credential stuffing attacks, which take leaked credentials from one site/service and use them on other sites/services.
