1. Many organizations require passwords to contain a combination of numbers, symbols, and lower and upper case letters. Passwords that conform to that policy are fine as long as they are easy for the user to remember. Below is a sample password policy set for a typical organization:

The password must be at least 8 characters long

The password must contain upper- and lower-case letters

The password must contain a number

The password must contain a non-alphanumeric character

Take a moment to analyze the characteristics of a strong password and the common password policy set shown above.

Why does the policy set neglect the first two items? Explain
