facebook password history

How much password history is facebook storing. I entered an old password by mistake, Facebook gives me the following information along with a login failure message
  • the password entered is an old password.
  • The date and time when it was changed.
  • the computer and the network from which the password was changed is also suggested vaguely


This can be a  potential hit and try hack to gain access. The old password on facebook can be active on some other accounts that the user uses.

Why does facebook need to store password history at all
