There are definitely services that fuss if you use a password you've used before.
-Try to log in, password incorrect.
-Try to log in, password incorrect.
-Try to log in, password incorrect.
-Weird, ok reset password.
-"Enter new password." Enter the password I've been typing the whole time. "Sorry, you can't use your old password."
