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

I have also run into the “incorrect password” *reset password* *enter what i thought it was* “new pass word can’t be old password” thing.
some websites won’t let you reuse a certain number of passwords, so say your last three. i have also decided that i may as well accept that this might be a different way to say your password is expired
