I've used that system before as well
Works pretty good
But, the case I mentioned the users had no control of passwords.
The system assigned them at and refreshed them at periods that varied

the new one had to be used.
Quite draconian.
But it prevented people from doing something I saw a lot of people do
on Vax systems where passwords were set to expire.
They'd simply use a base password and add a digit to the end (ie/
password1) and next month when it expired increment the digit so
password1 became password2.
Since a lot of system would only refuse to let you reuse a password
in 12 months you never had to have more than a few of them with
digits at the end.
Users can overcome any system you put in place to increase security :)
