Hey,

Yes, there is one way to achieve this:

  1. Password Reset -> Credential Strores.
  2. Locate the Credential Store which corresponds to the password reset system used on this instance.  For most systems this will probably be the out-of-box Credential Store with the name Local ServiceNow Instance
  3. Once the record opens, click the Enforce history policy checkbox to set that option to selected.
  4. Doing this should also cause a message to appear at the top of the record indicating "To enforce password history policy, you must create an integer value parameter called 'password_history_limit'."

Thank you very much for your response.

My question wasn't clear enough.

In additon to the password history the user should enter a password that is slightly different then the last 24 passwords. Is there anything OOB available?

To be different than the last 24 passwords is not enough, it also should be slighlty different then the last 24 passwords.

 

f.e.: Last password was ServiceNowRocks1, ServiceNowRocks2 shouldn't be allowed as a password.

 

Thank you very much in advance

Found few more articles through which you can achieve this by doing some updates to the existing functionality

 

These are good reads, please have a look:

Customize the Password requirement Strength for the Reset Password form

Prevent users from re-using recently used passwords on the Password Reset screen

 

Feel free to mark correct, If I answered your query.

Will be helpful for future visitors looking for similar questions 🙂
