Which two security tools allow administrators to maximize the security of their dashboard management accounts? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Alocal (direct) access only policies
• BCaptcha challenge-response tests
• Cbiometric authentication
• Dtwo-factor authentication
• Erole-based administration

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• D
  90% (19)

Explanation

Two-factor authentication (D) adds a second verification step beyond a password - such as a one-time code or authenticator app - making unauthorized account access dramatically harder even if credentials are stolen. Role-based administration (E) limits what each administrator can see and do based on their job function, enforcing least-privilege and reducing the blast radius of a compromised account.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (local/direct access only) is an access restriction policy, not a security tool for the account itself, and it would cripple remote administration needs.
• B (CAPTCHA) defends against automated bots, not against a real attacker with valid credentials - it adds friction, not meaningful account security.
• C (biometric authentication) is a valid MFA factor in general, but on exam questions about dashboard management security tools, it is typically not listed as a standard built-in control; D and E are the universally supported, policy-level answers expected here.

Memory tip: Think "DR" - Double-check identity (2FA) and Restrict by role (RBAC). These two together cover who you are and what you're allowed to do - the two pillars of access security.
