IGCSE Password Security Quiz

Scenario: You’re a cybersecurity analyst at a gaming company, tasked with ensuring user account passwords meet strict security policies to protect players’ data. Test your skills in validating passwords against dynamic security rules!

Topic Summary

Password security (syllabus point 2.5.1) is critical in protecting systems from unauthorized access. Strong passwords use a combination of length, letters, numbers, and symbols to resist attacks like brute-forcing. For example, consider the rule: “Password must be at least 8 characters and include a number.” For the password “Game1234”: length = 8 (meets requirement), contains “1234” (has numbers). This quiz tests your ability to apply such rules dynamically.
