It's even better when the company saves your old passwords, just so you can't use them again.

    Just add a number suffix and increment it each time. This doesn't exactly make your password any stronger but that's not what they're asking for with their stupid policy.

    My company tracks the first and last character so you can't do that. Personally I change a single character in the middle of my password to work around this.

    Error: Your password's Levenshtein distance indicates that your new password is more than 20% similar to a password previously used within the last 10 years.

    Policy requires your password to:

    • Be unique
    • Have at least one uppercase letter
    • Have at least one lowercase letter
    • Contain 2 symbols other than apostrophe
    • Have 4 numbers that are either separated by other characters, or represent an integer both greater than 3000 and not ending with the same last two digits as the previous or next 17 years from the current date.
    • Include exactly one Cryllic character
    • Exceed no more than 18 characters
