How to disable password history?

    I like the features of this plugin, and it seems very solid. But one thing that bugs me is the Disallow old passwords on reset feature. When I run into password problems on a website, I generally try to reset it to one I remember, including what might be the current one that got rejected because of a typo. But as far as I can tell, there’s no way to allow that. with this plugin, because the minimum value is 1: I tried entering 0, but got the error that it must be >= 1. Either accepting 0, or having a checkbox to disable password history altogether would make me happy. If you think that’s too insecure, perhaps instead of an error, you could make it a warning that resetting the password to a value used recently is not very secure, or something like that.
