Check for duplicated passwords

I love being able to detect accounts with shared passwords, is there a way to prevent someone from setting a shared password to begin with?

Hi @john.stein. Thanks for your suggestion. That would be nice, but unfortunately not possible because we would need to extract all the hashes from AD and compare them for every password change. This would be slow and would risk causing problems for LSASS because LSASS is waiting for PPE to respond during a password change. That is why this requirement is not enforced at the time of password change.
