    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!
