Question

In which two ways can a password manager lower the likelihood that a hacker will steal a user's password?

Choose two

A It encourages users to create stronger passwords
B It uses an internal firewall to protect the password repository from unauthorized access
C It stores the password repository on the local workstation with built-in antivirus and anti-malware functionality
D It automatically provides a second authentication factor that is unknown to the original user
E It protects against keystroke logging on a compromised device or web site

Explanation

A password manager reduces password theft in two key ways: it encourages and enables strong, unique passwords for each account (A), making brute-force and credential-stuffing attacks less effective. It also prevents keystroke logging attacks (E) by allowing users to copy-paste credentials rather than type them, which is critical on potentially compromised devices or phishing sites.
