BTEC National Dip. for IT Practitioners UNIT29 HOW CAN PASSWORD GUIDELINES HELP......

How can password guidelines such as below help to minimise the impact of faults? Crit. Below

Password guidelines could help prevent fraud & misuse from others. Many organisations have password guidelines that include how many characters the password should have, which characters type such as lower or uppercase and if numerical characters is needed, also expiry dates. If passwords include all the guidelines I just mentioned they would be much safer. This will take pressure off the technicians because there would be a less likelihood of hacking and misuse from other people using others accounts, but on the other hand these precautions can cause other problems because people could forget there passwords more often because of the certain characters you have got to use and the expiry times, which would put more pressure on the technicians because passwords would need changing more often.
