One of my work applications doesn't allow you to use any of the letters in the same spot or any repeating letters . And it expires every 45 days . So for example if I used Batman1 for my password . I can't just switch to Captain2 because the second letter is the same . And you can't use something like Poophead because there are 2 O's in a row . It's a nightmare every time it expires .

That also means they are saving that information. I doubt a single character can be usefully hashed. Seems like a security nightmare.

It's also some shitty program that is all black screen with green text that was probably made in the 90s . From what I understand it's used by a bunch of different shipping companies and very unintuitive to use .

Edit: just googled it and it was released in 1988 it's called As400
