IBM Aspera Faspex passwords must be prohibited from reuse for a minimum of five generations.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. If the information system or application allows the user to reuse their password consecutively when that password has exceeded its defined lifetime, the end result is a password that is not changed per policy requirements.
