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

        40 years from now when our devices just encode encrypted keys into our brains directly to identify us, we’ll still be making this joke.

          I think we’ll have moved on to hunter3 by then.

      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!
