I’ve gotten “New password cannot be the same as the four previous passwords”. I live too far from a large body of water to watch the sun rise/set over the horizon and ponder my life.

Sure, just admit to me that you’re storing passwords in plain text as carefree as you like.

The backwards one can be easily checked against the hash of the previous password, no need for plaintext.
