This has happened more than a few times for me, a site I’m on will suddenly not accept my correct password, forcing me to reset it, only for it to say “new password can’t be the same as the old password” when I try it as the new one, if it knew the password was the old password, why not just let me login in the first place?
Edit: I think most of the answers here are misunderstanding the question, I know for certain I’m using the correct password at first, once it forces me to reset, I type in the SAME password to check if this situation is happening and that’s when it says “new password can’t be the same as the old password”, I then give up and make a new one cuz what else can I do. This has happened about a dozen times over my time on the internet

If you’re using a VPN maybe the site just pretends your passwort is wrong because it doesn’t approve of the usage/doesn’t want you to see geoblocked content. Very specific and weird way to deal with the issue from their part, but had this happen to me.
