Changing the password reuse policy

This article describes how to change the unique password policy in Management Service.

The unique password policy improves account security by reducing the risk of repeated password reuse, which can make accounts more vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Overview

By default, the GitProtect system remembers the three most recently used account passwords, which cannot be used again when creating a new password.

It may prove useful to change temporairly if you encounter issues with password change, but it is not recommended to be disabled entirely.
