Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

That is not how it works.
They keep a log of the 3 (or more) previously used passwords. If you try to change to any of them, it will give you this error.
So if you changed your password and then forgot. Changing it back to the password before that will tell you not to use previous passwords even if it is not the current password.
Except sometimes I know for certain the "wrong password" it wants me to change is the currently used one.
It will also tell you a password is incorrect using a VPN in certain cases, which is an okay security measure, but it can be pretty annoying till you figure out what's going on.
