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.

        The leak doesn’t even need to happen on their site, they could check the password hash against known leaked hashes (from have I been pwned for example) and block it
