That’s why I only use “hunter2” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

That’s why I only use “*******” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

I guess it works because I can't see the password.

Nah, you need more numbers in your passwords. That's why mine is always 123456789!

That's it, I'm going to use hunter123456789 now for maximum security!
