That's impressive for 1Password with the history feature but I wouldn't put anything past financial systems. One of our utilities broke their bill payment system in some manner that I was able to save my new password, have it be rejected on login, and then when I followed the password reset flow and tried to use that password it was rejected because it was the same as the current password.

Password truncated at [login|reset] but not vice versa.
I’ve definitely seen that kind of before (app had max length in the HTML different than the max enforced by the validator). It’s amazing how much bad UX is tolerated in the name of security.
