My former company required not to use one of the last 10 passwords. So every 3 months, employees did the 11-password dance, setting the password back to the original one.

My company (5b a year annual revenue so not small) stops you from changing your password within 2 days of changing it previously to stop that.

Even the head of information security tried changing this and failed to get the change through.

That's the point where people simply append the month number.
