You used your organization's MDM solution to change the password of a managed administrator account that's secure token enabled. What is the result?

The correct answer is B. The login password is updated, not the secure token password. MDM updates the login password only. The macOS Security Overview states, "When MDM changes the password of a secure token-enabled account, only the login password is updated; the secure token remains tied to the original password unless explicitly reset."
