Answer 1

Tell me your email password and i’ll show you how to hack someone. It’s ok. If you type /hidepass/ then the password it won’t show up in reddit. Like this

​

**/hidepass/************

​

See how my password didn’t echo to the screen. Instead it echoed ***s. Echo is hacker speak. I know many hacker words.
