three passwords that preceded the current password. Also, the exclamation point (!) is not a valid pass-
word character and specifying an asterisk (*) as one or more characters in a password is allowed as long as
every character is not an asterisk. For example, password **123456** is allowed; password ******** is
not allowed.
