Have you considered scripting it? For a while I worked at a place that required changing passwords every 60 days and it couldn’t have been one of your previous 24 passwords. When checking out the policy I noticed there was no minimum password age so a quick for loop later and Bob becomes your mother’s brother. Quickly cycling through 24 random passwords and back to my secure one and no more just adding the month/year.

Of course I reported it to cyber and about a year later they added a minimum age, now I’m hoping to get them to address an issue in AD that sidesteps changing passwords (though that one may be around for a while).

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible for my situation. Most of my passwords require logging into a portal and accepting terms of agreements.

Yeah, future me wonders why I even suggested it, I’m sure it probably violates the spirit of password change requirements.

I mean it’s a clever solution for those without password manages. Plus most of the suggestions in these comments violate the spirit of password change requirements.
