    Your password can not be the same as any of the last 3 passwords.

    It isn’t infuriating, it is common cybersecurity.

      But that’s not the message you get. I’ve seen that message (or last 5, or whatever), but this one sounds like it can’t be the same as your immediate previous password.

        Yeahtthis is a classic case of good security policy and back end code, but poor front end design.

        If the user is confused or angry but the engineers know what’s going on just fine, it’s bad design.
