plusgut60377yIt does not say that the old and new password are the same. It says that one of your old passwords is the same as the new one.
-
@plusgut Actually, to read it literally, it says "The value provided has been previously used". It doesn't say that who used it before. That's a brave new world if passwords need to be unique! :D
-
@plusgut yeah, but I never changed passwords for that account. I gave a password while registration and this is the second time I'm accessing that site. So, there's no chance of having used more than one password in that site.
-
@plusgut I've always wondered why this expression, "being f***ed", is being used as something bad, whereas "getting laid" is usually a good thing. Is it because "being" is more passive, indicating that you're sort of a victim, whereas "getting" means that you actively get/achieve someting? Then again, "getting punished" hardly ever means something good. Hmmm.

plusgut60377y@TerriToniAX I'm not a native and just use common expressions. But what you explained sounds reasonable.
-
@plusgut Neither am I. I'm interested in languages and know a few. In all languages, especially my own, which is Swedish BTW, there are these expressions that don't make any sense to me. One example in Swedish, "Sakta men säkert" = slow but safe. Like if going faster would make things safer. Some people drive "Sakta men osäkert" though, ("slow but unsafe"), especially some senior citizens who would be better off to use "färdtjänst" (mobility service).

plusgut60377y@TerriToniAX this really is interesting!
What I think is even more interesting is, that normally thinks about it, what they are actually saying (me included). In germany we have 'Servus' for a greeting, which actually means 'to your service' but rarely anybody knows this. But they use it all the time. -
@plusgut Like "tjena" in Swedish, also a greeting stemming from "tjänare", servant :)

my personal favorite is, if the password is shortened in be!
e.g. limit is 16 characters and you enter 20! HATE -
@SoulSkrix Thanks for a great explanation. Now it makes more sense. In Swedish the sexual act is "knulla". This is just my own guess, but it might have meant something like pressing/crumpling, like the German word preisknüller (a hilarious word to us Swedish speakers), which means bargain price, literally something that crumples the price.
