Scope	FortiOS.
Solution	When password policy is enabled, users will have the option to disable reuse of the last password with the following command: config system password-policy     set reuse-password disable end In the GUI, the option can be disabled by navigating to System -> Settings -> Password Policy and toggling the option of Allow password reuse to off (default setting: on): When this setting is configured, the user will not be able to reuse the last 3 passwords recorded in FortiOS.
