Why each option
To mitigate brute force attacks in a guest password policy, configuring a minimum password length and a password expiration period are essential requirements.
A minimum password length increases the number of possible combinations, making brute-force attacks computationally more expensive and time-consuming for attackers.
An active username limit typically refers to concurrent user sessions or account management, not directly to password complexity or brute-force mitigation on the password itself.
Access code control is a specific mechanism for guest access management (e.g., using a single code for multiple guests), not a general password policy requirement to mitigate brute force.
A password expiration period forces users to change their passwords regularly, which limits the window of opportunity for attackers to successfully use a compromised or brute-forced password.
A username expiration date relates to the longevity of a guest account, not the strength or lifecycle of the password itself in defense against brute force attacks.
