A Laravel package that prevents users from resetting their password to one they have used before. This package ensures that password reuse is restricted by checking against a history of previously used passwords.

- Customizable password history depth (how many previous passwords to check).
- Simple integration with Laravel's built-in authentication system.

Usage
Middleware Setup
To prevent users from using previous passwords when resetting their passwords, add the middleware provided by this package to your password reset routes.
In your routes/web.php or routes/api.php:
This middleware will ensure that users cannot reuse any of the last password_history_count passwords they have used.
How it Works
The package checks a user's password against their previous passwords before allowing them to reset it. You can configure how many previous passwords are stored in the history by modifying the password_history_count in the configuration file.
The system uses a password_histories table to store the history of passwords for each user.

The package includes a migration that adds a table to store the password history. Run the migrations after installing the package:
This will create a password_histories table to store user IDs and hashed passwords. This table is used to check previous passwords during the password reset process.
