How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

The security risk I see is that the cause of you resetting your password could be that it is leaked. For that case, it is good to remind the user that they shouldn't override it with their current password. That said it would be nice to have a "I know what I am doing" option and allow it anyway

If you forgot your password and are trying to reset it with the exact same password you forgot, then you obviously don't know what you are doing.

Ah, that's a great point!
