Should be: "your password cannot be one of your last 24 passwords"

Especially for those places that want your password changed every two weeks.

If they want to play that game - the calendar date becomes part of the password. It's never the same, but you can always work it out!

Or just append a letter that increments every time you change your password, and keep a note of what the current letter is.

Passworda
Passwordb
Passwordc
...

When your z password expires, just wrap back around to a.
