Bug Description

Hi,

Please enhance SSO such that it prevents a ~canonical user from reusing an old password.

PCI-DSS requires us to prevent the previous 4 passwords from being used. Ideally we should also prevent any passwords used within the last 24 months as per good IT security best practice.

Thanks.

From Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, v3.2.1:

8.2.4 Change user passwords/passphrases at least once every 90 days
8.2.5 Do not allow an individual to submit a new password/passphrase that is the same as any of the last four passwords/passphrases he or she has used.

This hasn't been an issue in 7 years, so I'll mark WONTFIX until we get a specific requirement from e.g. legal to whip ourselves up into full PCI DSS compliance.
