How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

    If there has been a data leak, they might block your current password because the hash has been leaked

      Yes, that might be a plausible theory. Basically a bad yersion of you must change your password.

        How would that be considered bad? Is this some meme I’m too stupid to understand or something?

          It would be better if the login flow said something like

          For security reasons, we ask you to set a new password, please use the “password forgotten” function to gain access again.

          instead of me being puzzled why my password doesn’t work.
