Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. Set the minimum length for passwords to be 8 characters. According to Google Cloud Identity's password guidelines, the minimum password length is 8 characters. This is a default setting that can be adjusted to meet the organization's specific requirements. Here's a quote from the Google Cloud Identity documentation: "The minimum password length is 8 characters. You can adjust this setting to meet your organization's password policy requirements." Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Selected Answer: B
The most accurate answer based on Cloud Identity's password guidelines is B. Set the minimum length for passwords to be 10 characters. While Cloud Identity allows you to set a minimum password length as low as 6 characters, Google recommends a minimum of 10 characters for stronger security. This aligns with industry best practices for password security. Here's why the other options are not the best advice: A. 8 characters: While better than 6, it's still shorter than the recommended minimum. C. 12 characters: While this is a strong password length, it might be unnecessarily long for some organizations and could lead to user frustration. D. 6 characters: This is generally considered too short for a secure password in modern environments.

Answer is A The minimum password length for application hosting services on GCP was 12 characters until January 2023. However, it was recently changed to 8 characters. This change was made to make it easier for users to create and remember strong passwords.
