Enforce Password History [number of] Passwords Remembered (3 to 24)

Number of passwords (from 3 to 24) the system will store for comparison to ensure a password is not re-used. For example, if this field is set to 5, the system will store the last 5 passwords assigned to a user. When the user attempts to change his/her password, the system compares the new password to the last 5 passwords used. If the new password matches one of the last 5 passwords used, an error message is displayed, instructing the user to choose a different password.

This number is a rolling number (e.g., when the limit is reached, the first password is dropped and becomes eligible for re-use).
