Definition of "Password History" |
A password history is some representation of one or more previously used passwords for a given user. These passwords are stored in order that they may be compared to new passwords chosen by the user, to prevent the user from reusing old passwords.The reason for password history is the notion that, given enough time, an attacker could guess a given password. To avoid this, passwords should be changed periodically and not reused. |
