@ETO , just to confirm, you set the Additional Setting to TRUE, right?

You may need to cycle CS services to take effect.

You can't enforce different passwords between users, but you can enforce strong passwords so they will have to think of a password different then default weak passwords:

Hope this helps 🙂

Hello Jos,

Thank you for reply. BUt I guess I couldnt tell my problem. I dont want to enfore different passwords between users.  

For example my local user’s password :A123! and and when my password expire and when I must change my password I should not use “A123!” again

is it possible?

@ETO , Try opening the link in incognito mode.  I often get that issue due to a bad cache/cookie.
