  • Used to run into this more. Some legacy systems imposed password limits that seem archaic by modern standards. The authentication system was just supporting systems from before newer standards were created.

    I think some of those compatibility layers outlived the systems they needed to be compatible with. The people that knew the system retired ages ago and the documentation was lost 3 or 4 “documentation system” changes ago.

    Anyway, those have no place on the modern web.


  • Variable rates are still available and common. They tend to be slightly lower rates than fixed rate mortgages due to volatility risks.

    I interpreted their remark to be more about the fixed rate though. The $20,000 house could have a 20% fix interest loan.

    They did say “shooting up”, so maybe they are presuming variable rate mortgages.
