How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

If there has been a data leak, they might block your current password because the hash has been leaked

I'm sure that makes them feel much better, lol.

The leak doesn't even need to happen on their site, they could check the password hash against known leaked hashes (from have I been pwned for example) and block it
