Everybody else but you sees the stars, but not you because you are logged in to your account.

To me your message appears as:

That's why I always set my password as 8 asterisks - that way when my password gets leaked the hackers still think it's encrypted.
Makes sense! Thanks for the tip.
Bash.org salutes you.
I just don't understand why he would tell us how many asterisks he's using, I will try 16 for extra security. You can never be sure these days!

(BTW I love bash.org!)

You can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
