A password policy check that tests whether the new password is the same as one in the password history (i.e. a previously used password).
The number of "forbidden" used passwords (= the password history length) is defined by the password hash plugin passed to this plugin when performing the check.

IMPORTANT: If using this policy check, the used password hash function must support password histories. Use the "History Password Hash" plugin.

Performance considerations: For every entry in the password history a hash will be calculated. With growing password history length (the maximum of which is configured in "History Password Hash") the performance of this check degrades linearly.
