Question

A user has asked for a recommendation for a strong password. Which of the following passwords is the STRONGEST?

Options

Apassword!
BPa$sw0rd
Cpa$4w0rd
Dthisismypsswrd1

Explanation

Password strength is determined by complexity - specifically the variety of character types used. 'Pa$sw0rd' (B) includes all four character categories: uppercase letters (P), lowercase letters (asswrd), a special character ($), and a number (0), making it the most complex of the options. 'password!' (A) is a common dictionary word with only one special character - highly vulnerable to dictionary attacks. 'pa$4w0rd' (C) is similar to B but lacks uppercase letters, reducing its character set diversity. 'thisismypsswrd1' (D) is longer but uses only lowercase letters and a single digit, lacking uppercase and special characters. Character type variety is more impactful than length alone when comparing these options.
