Password History

Introduction

You must have an ABP Team or a higher license to use this module & its features.

The Identity PRO module has a built-in password history function that allows you to enforce password reuse policies for users within your application. It keeps track of users’ previously used passwords and checks this history whenever a user attempts to change their password. This prevents users from setting a password that they have already used in the past, ensuring that each new password is unique and not a repetition of an older one.

Password History Settings

You need to enable the password history and configure related settings:

  • Enable prevent password reuse: Whether to prevent users from reusing their previous passwords.
  • Password change period: The number of previous passwords that cannot be reused.

When you enable the password history, users and administrators will not be able to reuse their previous passwords when changing/resetting their passwords.
