Password history policies are used to prevent:

• Brute force attacks
• Users from sharing passwords
• Social engineering
• Passwords from being reused immediately

Explanation:
This security setting determines the number of unique new passwords that have to be associated with a user account before an old password can be reused. The value must be between 0 and 24 passwords.
This policy enables administrators to enhance security by ensuring that old passwords are not reused continually.
