It must be, but publishing old passwords can still be done by saving the old cleartext password on password change.

As in store "old password" as cleartext on its final use?

Yes, that was my initial thought on how to make this possible. In my case, the company where I contract has a dedicated application (on Mac, at least) for password changes: record the old password and share it once the new password has taken effect.
