Authentication is a process to verify an identity of someone. Authentication can be classified by something known, something possessed by physical characteristic or even a result from an involuntary action. For example, a password can be used as something known by the user to prove their identity. Give THREE (3) password selecting strategies that you can apply to your users in your system to help them in creating a good password.

Please elaborate so I can grasp the significance of a well-implemented authentication challenge-response mechanism. Not even close to as secure as the method shown here is a system that needs users to memorize passwords.
An authentication challenge-response mechanism should be shown.With password protection, how much more secure is it?
Provide an example of a challenge-response authentication system in operation.How does it lessen the security of a system that requires a password to access it?
The administration of logins in a made-up situation may be broken down into its component parts here. Create a list of all of the various kinds of authentication that you've come across throughout your travels. In the not too distant future, what do you think passwords will be used for as a form of security?
Consider a hypothetical scenario involving the administration of user logins. Create a comprehensive list of all conceivable authentication techniques. How do you feel about the future of passwords?
Here, a hypothetical situation of login management is discussed. Make a note of all the various authentication methods you have come across. What do you think about passwords being used as security measures going forward?
Describe a made-up scenario involving the management of user accounts. Make a list of the most original methods of authentication that come to mind. Do you foresee a day when passwords will no longer be necessary?
Speculate about a situation in which login credentials need to be managed and then describe the scenario. Determine a number of different authentication procedures. Does the idea of a password make any kind of sense at all?
Provide an illustration of how a challenge-response authentication system performs its functions.How much more secure is it compared to a system that requires a password to access it?
Give an example of a hypothetical login management scenario. Write down as many original authentication methods as you can. Do you think passwords will soon become obsolete?
Describe a challenge-response authentication system. Be distinct. Why is this authentication mechanism superior to a password, given that passwords are so insecure?
Provide an example of a fictitious login management situation. Identify a number of different authentication procedures. Is it possible that passwords are becoming obsolete?
