    4.  What does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provide to digital accounts?

                                     (i)  Second layer of verification         (ii)  Single layer of security

                                    (iii)  Automatic password change          (iv)  Continuous password updates

                        5.  Which method may unlock systems automatically when a device is nearby?
                                     (i)  Dictionary attack                    (ii)  Wearable & IoT authentication

                                    (iii)  Password reuse                     (iv)  Keylogging

                     B.  Write ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.

                        1.  A strong password makes it extremely difficult for attackers to guess.

                        2.  Keylogging records every keystroke entered on a computer.

                        3.  Multi-Factor Authentication blocks access even if a password is stolen.

                        4.  The goal of passwordless login system is to allow access to accounts by typing a password.

                        5.  Behavioural authentication observes typing speed and usage patterns.

                     C.  Fill in the blanks using the given hints:                                           Hints
                        1.  A password functions like a                that protects digital accounts.     passphrase
                        2.  A long password should have a minimum of                   characters.             12
                                                                                                           dictionary
                        3.  A                 attack uses pre-made lists of common words and
                            passwords.                                                                     encryption
                                                                                                              lock
                        4.  A password manager protects password data using strong
                            algorithms.

                        5.  A                 is a type of password that resembles a short sentence or meaningful phrase.

                     D.  Answer the following questions:
                        1.  What is a strong password?

                        2.  Mention any two qualities of a strong password.

                        3.  Explain brute force attack.

                                                                                          Advanced Password Protection  91
