I’ve had this happen on sites as a very shitty way to force users to change their passwords. Instead of simply telling you your PW has expired and you need to change it, the design is to invalidate your current password and leave you frustrated you can’t login, so you do a reset. Of course your password was correct, but you can’t re-use it. I’ve found this prevalent on government sites.
Yes that’s for sure what’s happening. If I come across an account that does this I delete the account. No point in keeping an account that I need to ‘re-register’ if I sign in once or twice a year.
