Information

The minimum password age must be configured to at least 1 day.

GROUP ID: V-253302
RULE ID: SV-253302r1051043

Permitting passwords to be changed in immediate succession within the same day allows users to cycle passwords through their history database. This enables users to effectively negate the purpose of mandating periodic password changes.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Account Policies >> Password Policy >> 'Minimum Password Age'

to at least '1' day.
