Secret passwords are often used to control access to computers. When employees select their own password , they frequently choose such easily guessed password as their initials or birthdates. To improve security, employers should assign randomly generated passwords to employees rather than allowing employees to make up their own.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion drawn above?

1)If passwords are generated randomly, it is theoretically possible that employees will be assigned passwords that they might have selected on their own.
2)Randomly generated passwords are so difficult for employees to recall that they Often record the passwords in places where the passwords could be easily seen by Others
3)Computer systems protected by passwords are designed to ignore commands That are entered by employees or others who use invalid passwords.
4) In general, the higher the level of security maintained at the computer system, the more difficult it is for unauthorized users to obtain access to the system.
5)Control of physical access to computers by the use of locked doors and guards should be used in addition to passwords in order to maintain security

However, Option A is CORRECT.
''If passwords are generated randomly''[/b] by the employer,then it is possible for the employees to be assigned password that they have selected on their own. This password is no more a secret to the employers since it will be assigned to each employees to access his/her own assigned computer. this statement has undermined the speakers opinion.

In Option B - INCORRECT.
Definitely, passwords are not meant to be complex for easy access. therefore no employer would create a random password that neither they or the employees can easily remember.

In Option C - INCORRECT.
Computer systems that are protected with password are not designed to ignore employees, but rather, to ignore invaders of privacy.

In Option D - INCORRECT.
This statement seems correct but, it has not done justice to undermine the speakers motion. The higher the level of security the lower the risk of insecurity, this is why there should be a random password created by the employers for the employee so that it is only the employer and the employee that can have access to the computer system, without intruders knowing of this pin.

In Option E - INCORRECT.
This statement has added an additional security level which is not part of the speakers statement on how initiation of password can be effectively utilized.
