How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

Also suggests the user may be reusing the same prefix if only the changed bits are getting truncated.

Should use different random passwords every time. Completely random or a random string of words. While it doesn't solve the cleartext password storage issue, a data breach won't compromise all your other accounts to same degree.

Doesn't hurt to also randomize usernames, emails, and even security question answers.

edit: or my new favorite passkeys, just make sure you trust whatever tool is managing your private keys.
