Q: 3
An organization adopts Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for application hosting services and needs
guidance on setting up password requirements for their Cloud Identity account. The organization has
a password policy requirement that corporate employee passwords must have a minimum number
of characters.
Which Cloud Identity password guidelines can the organization use to inform their new
requirements?

A or B? D is tempting but Cloud Identity doesn't let you go below 8, so I pick A. Pretty sure that's still current.
A/B? Google lets you set minimum 8, but lots of orgs go for 10+.
A
Saw this exact thing on a previous practice test, the answer is A.
Had something like this in a mock, pick is A. Cloud Identity's admin panel only lets you set 8 as the minimum character count for passwords. Even though 10 or 12 would be better from a security standpoint, the product just doesn't support it. Pretty sure that's still accurate but let me know if they've changed it.
Honestly wish Google would let us set 10 or 12, but A tbh.
Seriously, why does Google still not let admins enforce a 10-character minimum? It’s just A for Cloud Identity.
A tbh
If Cloud Identity ever let you require 10 or 12, C/B would be stronger answers, but as of now A is it. Admin console only supports setting minimum to 8 chars. If Google changes this in the future, answer might need a rethink. Anyone see otherwise?
Seriously annoying Google still caps this at 8, but A is the only valid pick since that's all Cloud Identity lets you enforce for password length. If their admin console ever changes maybe B or C, but not today.
Be respectful. No spam.
