Choose a password that is different from your last 5 passwords

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

"Choose a password that is different from your last 5 passwords."

I want to take this setting off. So that you can use the same password every time.

What I have done is: -Transaction - rz10

-Change the following parameter "login/password_history_size = 0"

-stop and start the SAP system.

Are there any other settings that I must change?

Thanks

value 0 is not an option... so the minimum is 1

Hi Guys

I have decide to go with 1 and it makes perfectly sense to me now why it could not be 0.

I really appreciate the quick response and all the help.

Thanks a lot!!!!

No, its not... it's not possible to use a value = 0 so you can deactivate this feature, you can reduce the amount of passwords in history but not disable it.

This is not possible.

The password may not be changed to any of a useru2019s last five passwords, if the user changes the password himself or herself.

The administrator can reset a useru2019s password to any password, even to one of the last five passwords of this user. This is necessary, since the administrator should not know the passwords of the users. The user is prompted to change the password at the first interactive logon.
