The duplicate password check is the recording of recently used passwords
based on the privilege level or user. The differences are as follows:

For passwords configured at different privilege levels, e.g. passwords
configured through the command enable password or enable secret, the
passwords used recently are recorded based on the privilege level.

For passwords configured by local users, e.g. user passwords configured
through the command username, the passwords used recently are
recorded based on a user.

The device checks whether the password used by the user has expired when
he/she uses the password to log in. If a password expires after its user has
logged in, the user will be prompted to change the password when logging in
with that password later.If the user makes no change, the current command
can still be used.
