<div><p>Specifies when a password can be used again. (QPWDRQDDIF)</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Password reuse cycle</span>, also known as <span class="uicontrol">QPWDRQDDIF</span>,
is a member of the password category of i5/OS™ system values. You can use this system
value to specify when a password can be used again. To learn more, keep reading.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>You may specify
how many of the previous passwords are checked for a duplicate password. This
option provides additional security by preventing users from specifying passwords
they have used previously. This option also prevents a user whose password
has expired from changing it and then immediately changing it back to the
old password.</p>
<p>The following are possible values:</p>
<ul><li>After 1 password (0)</li>
<li>After 4 password (8)</li>
<li>After 6 password (7)</li>
<li>After 8 password (6)</li>
<li>After 10 password (5)</li>
<li>After 12 password (4)</li>
<li>After 18 password (3)</li>
<li>After 24 password (2)</li>
<li>After 32 password (1)</li>
</ul>
<p>The suggested setting is after 10 passwords (5). Select a value of
10 or more to prevent the use of repeated passwords. It is recommended to
use a combination of the Password expiration value and the Password reuse
cycle value to prevent a password from being reused for at least 6 months.
For example, select <span class="uicontrol">30 days</span> for <span class="uicontrol">Password
Expiration</span> (days after last change) and <span class="uicontrol">After 10 passwords</span> for <span class="uicontrol">Password
re-use cycle</span>. This means a typical user, who changes passwords
when warned by the system, will not repeat a password for approximately 9
months.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Where can I get more information about this system value?</h4><p>To
learn more, go to the password system values overview topic. If you are looking
for a specific system value or category of system values, try using the i5/OS system
value finder.</p>
