Using Digital Certificates for Enterprise Device Authentication
Which alternative to password authentication is implemented to allow enterprise devices to log in to the corporate network?
Community Votes
100% of anonymous learners picked answer D. Votes are pick records left by other test-takers — they are not the verified answer.
Community Insight
A certificate is a device/identity credential that replaces the password in enterprise auth (EAP-TLS); the other options are either password practices or temporary codes.
Certificates are a credential type used as a password alternative: a device presents a machine certificate to prove identity, commonly via 802.1X EAP-TLS. One-time passwords and magic links are still knowledge/possession factors, and renewal policies are just password hygiene.
Picking one-time passwords (C) or magic links (B): those are still shared-secret/knowledge mechanisms, not a true password alternative like a certificate. Renewal policies (A) govern passwords, not replace them.

Why the Answer Is Correct
D is correct. Digital certificates are a credential type used as a password alternative: a device presents a machine certificate to prove identity, typically via 802.1X EAP-TLS, so no password is needed.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
A (90-day renewal) is a password policy, not an alternative. B (magic links) and C (one-time passwords) are still shared-secret/knowledge mechanisms. Only a certificate replaces the password for device auth.Community Comment Notes
The vote is D (100). One commenter notes 'magic links' is a real (if weak) concept but not the enterprise device-auth alternative the question asks for.Official Reference
