A user authenticates to Windows with a complex password. The user frequently makes errors when entering the password and gets locked out. Which of the following can ensure security while reducing…

Single sign-on simplifies access to multiple applications but still relies on an initial authentication method, which could still be a complex password.

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a shorter password and can reduce typing errors but offers less security than a complex password and is not a biometric method.

Fingerprint authentication uses a user's unique biometric data to verify identity, eliminating the need to type complex passwords and reducing input errors.

Facial recognition uses biometric mapping of a user's face for authentication, providing a secure and convenient login method that bypasses manual password entry.

A hardware token typically generates a one-time password or provides a cryptographic key, which still often requires user interaction or is used in conjunction with a password for multi-factor authentication.

While enhancing security, multi-factor authentication (MFA) typically adds another factor in addition to the password, which doesn't directly reduce the error rate of typing the initial complex password.
