This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage applications. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You are designing an app protection policy (APP) for Microsoft 365 mobile apps accessing corporate data on iOS devices. The security team requires that when a user opens a work document in the Microsoft Word app, the user must authenticate with Face ID or a passcode. Which setting should you configure?
Require PIN or Face ID for access (iOS)
This setting enforces authentication on app access.
Block managed apps from running on jailbroken devices
Why wrong: This is a device compliance check, not authentication.
Encrypt app data
Why wrong: Encryption protects data but doesn't require authentication.
Require app PIN when device PIN is not set
Why wrong: This is a conditional setting, not always requiring authentication.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Require PIN or Face ID for access (iOS)
Option A is correct because 'Require PIN or Face ID for access' controls access to the app itself, including when opening documents. Option B is wrong because jailbreak/root detection is a device condition. Option C is wrong because encryption is for data at rest. Option D is wrong because 'Block managed apps from running on jailbroken devices' is a device-level check.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Require PIN or Face ID for access (iOS)

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
