You can reuse an old password after the specified a number (plus one) of other passwords have been
used. For example: If you do not enable
Allow Password Reuse and Password History is set to two, a
user’s sequence of passwords might look like this:
House*Magnet
Fig@Bumper
Rose-Window
Standard+Disclaimer
House*Magnet
Yo u c a n r e u se House*Magnet , since 2+1 other passwords have been used since House*Magnet .
NOTE:
A setting of 0 effectively enables immediate password reuse even if you do not set Allow Password
Reuse.
