Hi experts,
I got confused with the fundamental part of the question. When the question reads "For a computer user with multiple accounts who would not otherwise use a different strong password on every account, the expert's advice amounts to suggesting that users make certain sacrifices in order to make certain gains.", I interpreted it the part "for a user with multiple accounts who would not use a different strong password" as "a user who wouldn't actually install a software but continue to have several accounts with the same difficult password". I have difficulty in breaking down this part and eventually selected the exact opposite of the correct answer i.e security as sacrifice and time as gain. Kindly help me.
Hi
SubashRajesh,
Not 100% about your confusion point. I'll give it a quick try anyways.
"For a computer user with multiple accounts who would not otherwise use a different strong password on every account, the expert's advice amounts to suggesting that users make certain sacrifices in order to make certain gains."In this case,
we are talking about a computer user who has multiple accounts, and
for all we know these accounts could all have the same password, strong or weak, or all have different but weak passwords, or a mix of all this. For this type of user, we are asked to identify what would be gained and what would need to be sacrificed to follow the expert's recommendation.
As per paragraph 1,
the expert's advice is to have a different AND strong password for every single account. The expert then makes a suggestion on how to achieve this without having to remember multiple difficult passwords, which most users can't do.
Hope this helps!
