An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:
1. Prohibit guessable passwords
o such as common names, real words, numbers only
o require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case and numbers in pws
2. Reauthenticate before changing passwords
user must enter old pw before creating new one
3. Make authenticators unforgeable
do not allow email or user ID as password
Using WORD, write a brief paper of 200-300 words explaining each of these security recommendations. Add additional criteria as you see necesarry.
