I bet it was "hunter2".
In the article.
hunter2
I'm familiar with the meme, I thought the real PW in question was funnier, especially as the user was clearly inebriated when he made it to forget that one.
"*******" is a weird password. Aren't there supposed to be letters and numbers ?
Lemmy hides it for us. It's pretty sweet.
I absolutely love that feature. Imagine you accidentally type or paste your ******** into a comment. Now everyone can see your ********! What a banger. But not on Lemmy! It gets masked automatically so that none can see and guess you ********!
All I see is "lol420fuckthePOLICE" does Lemmy automatically hide passwords or something?
Yeah, all I see is stars while you see "lolFuckthePOLICE".
Yeah it has this super innovative feature that looks up passwords and hides them for you. Like, my email password is "trumphasamushroompenis" and it hides it. Cool right?
