B) Using the browser "password save" feature
C) Deleting and replacing all system user passwords when an employee is terminated
D) Storing passwords in a file on the computer
E) Using the same password for access to all sites or systems

C) Deleting and replacing all system user passwords when an employee is terminated is also a good recommendation as it ensures that terminated employees cannot access the system with their old password. This reduces the risk of insider threats and unauthorized access.

B) Using the browser "password save" feature is not a good recommendation as it increases the risk of unauthorized access if someone gains access to the device.

D) Storing passwords in a file on the computer is not a good recommendation as it increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential loss of the file.

E) Using the same password for access to all sites or systems is not a good recommendation as it increases the risk of unauthorized access to all systems if the password is compromised.
