That's certainly true.

That's what standards are for. For example, they didn't have to support "many different billers". They could have simply supported industry standard .htpasswd files, which all major billers already use. In short, it's complex and unwieldy because they did it wrong.

When I say "wrong", don't confuse "wrong" with "stupid". I'm not saying they are stupid. I've been protecting adult sites for fifteen years. Even someone smart, with three years of experience, is lacking 80% of my experience, so they don't have to be stupid to do it wrong.
