This happens when the password requirements are changed or the password database has been leaked.
I will let you know that I’m extremely fun at parties.
You should have your own parties with more people like you. I’d go.
This also happens when your password manager, for example, generates you a 24 character password which the registration accepted just fine but the login form inexplicably has a limit of 20 characters which has happened to me multiple times somehow.
It can also happen if you are using an old password. To prevent reuse of old passwords the hashes are remembered, if you attempt to reset the password to an old password you often get the exact same message.
I forget what it was but something I had an account on for a time forced you to change your password every 6 months and prevented you from reusing any from the last 5 years. It was ridiculous.
It also happens when the server side hash gets corrupted in the main password field, but not in the table containing previous hashes.
Then it should just prompt you to change your password after login, not do this circular bullshit
It would be a security risk if the database was leaked.
…wait, so it means my password was leaked??
If they have 2FA then yes use the same password. If not heeeeeeeeeellllllllllll no.
