I'm confused, how could Google ask for the OLD password? Is this even a thing? I have no idea what my old password is.

- halilim 4y agoYes. Google (and probably many other companies at this point) ask for your previous passwords as part of the account recovery flow. It's an additional factor to help establish that it's you and not a scammer trying to "recover" it. So it's a good practice to save old passwords. Some password managers make it easier by having a password history feature, usually on the account's detail page.
