This happens when the password requirements are changed or the password database has been leaked.

I will let you know that I'm extremely fun at parties.

It can also happen if you are using an old password. To prevent reuse of old passwords the hashes are remembered, if you attempt to reset the password to an old password you often get the exact same message.

I forget what it was but something I had an account on for a time forced you to change your password every 6 months and prevented you from reusing any from the last 5 years. It was ridiculous.
