I've gotten "New password cannot be the same as the four previous passwords". I live too far from a large body of water to watch the sun rise/set over the horizon and ponder my life.

That one is okay-ish. The one that is going to have me getting in the elevator with my samurai sword to go and have a chat with somebody is "Your password cannot contain any sequence of characters from previous passwords," or "password cannot be your old password backwards."

Sure, just admit to me that you're storing passwords in plain text as carefree as you like.

The backwards one can be easily checked against the hash of the previous password, no need for plaintext.

Password1

Password2

Password3
