Question

Options

  • ASet a strong password policy
  • BSet a required BIOS boot-up password
  • CSet a Screensaver required password
  • DSet up biometrics authentication

Explanation

Setting a screensaver with a required password (also known as a screensaver lock) automatically activates after a configurable idle timeout and requires the user to re-enter credentials to unlock the session. This directly addresses the concern that administrators will forget to log off - the system locks itself without user action. A strong password policy (A) improves security but does not cause the session to lock automatically. A BIOS boot-up password (B) protects against unauthorized booting but does not lock an already-running active session. Biometric authentication (D) is an access method for initial login and does not provide an automatic session timeout or lock mechanism.
