My healthcare services websites. Their website and mobile app require separate logins. The website logs in then redirects to a completely different website.

They have a tax-free “store” that feels like a completely different website.

Everything is laid out using what seems like the idea of middle management and not modern design philosophy.

    TreasuryDirect also feels classic. If you're not familiar, it's a US government website to buy and sell certain types of treasury bonds. Some great features:

    • an image so you know you didn't typo your username (haven't seen that in well over a decade)
    • clicking a link is a new page, and clicking back breaks stuff and makes you login again
    • until recently, you couldn't paste in the password field

    It does do some modern-ish things with page layout, but not that modern, like maybe early 2000s modern. But it's perennially stuck about 20 years in the past.
