I have 5-6 apps I log into for work that all have different password requirements and are on different expiration periods. One of them is so crazy that I have to take 3-4 spins on a password generator before I get one it will accept. We also don't have a password manager that's approved to install. So, the result of all this is that I store my passwords in onenote. Very secure. Great job everyone. At least for the less severe ones I can just put whatever number I'm tagging on the end of the usual password I use.
We had a system at one of my old companies that with each password change, you couldn't have any of the same characters that were in your last password (12 character max so it was never impossible to solve), you couldn't have the same character in the same place as any of your last 10 passwords, or the same character type (letter or number) in the same space as the last password. Also no special characters.
The end result was everyone ended up using a1a1a1a1 for the first password, then 2b2b2b2b, c3c3c3c3, 4d4d4d4d, etc. The draconian password requirements resulted in everyone using the same passwords.
You know some turd in the IT department was so proud of themselves for coming up with that too.
And of course they have to be storing the passwords in plain text somewhere to maintain that history.
Storing passwords in plain text not a requirement to have a password history.
In this case, it's required to store which character was in which place in which password, so if not directly stored in plaintext it could still be trivially solved.
It is when it's that specific.
At work my main password has to be changed every two weeks and has insane requirements and we can only use some shit company approved password manager which I cant even install on a rooted phone. This has resulted me in just changing 1 digit every 2 weeks, 10/10 guys!
I have to do it every 3 months. I'm at [password]27! now.

Holy shit, I didn't expect people to really use it, even with a changed digit.
