I am tasked with updating the security options of our software. Our software lets a user login to SQL server with the SQL username/password rather than NT Security. So regarding the SQL Security, when the account needs a password change we pop up a dialog
that lets the user change the password. However, we've not been able to figure out how to check against the list of past passwords. So if my last password was "c0mPlex1", and I am forced to change it, I can "change" it back to "c0mPlex1"
and not throw any issues. For the record, we are using ALTER LOGIN to change the passwords. SQL server is 2012, on a variety of platforms, and dev environment is VB2012.
