A password-history requirement records previously used passwords and blocks users from selecting any of them again until a defined number of unique new passwords have been chosen. This directly prevents simple cycling between a small set of favorite passwords. Minimum length, account-lockout, and multi-factor controls improve security in other ways but do not address password reuse.
