Actual exam question for CyberArk's SECRET-SEN exam

Question #: 34
Topic #: 5

What is a main advantage of using dual accounts in password management?

ASince passwords are cached for both rotation accounts, it ensures the password for an application will not be changed, reducing the amount of blackout dates when a password expires.

BIt ensures passwords are rotated every 90 days, which respects the expected downtime for a system, database, or application

CIt ensures no delays are incurred when the application needs credentials because a password that is currently used by an application will never be changed

DSince there are two active accounts, it doubles the probability that a system, database, or application will successfully authenticate.

I'm just glad they didn't ask about 'dual factor authentication' - that would have really confused me!

Option B is tempting, but I think Ngoc nailed it. Dual accounts mean the app never has to wait for a password change. That's a lifesaver for admins!

Hmm, I was going to pick option D, but I think Ngoc is right. Having two accounts doubles the chances of successful authentication. Wait, that's not the point here...

I agree with Ngoc. Option C is the best choice here. Dual accounts make sure the app can always get the credentials it needs.

But wouldn't having two active accounts also increase the chances of successful authentication, as mentioned in option D?

I agree with Quentin. Rotating passwords regularly helps improve security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
