What is funny or rude about *******? Is this supposed to be some 7-letter curse word or something? I don't get it.

  HN automatically hides your password when you input it into the comments, like mine is ******, to me it shows up as ******, but to you you see ******.

    Does it do this predictively or intuitively somehow? How does it know your password? Is it keeping it as clear text on the client side?

      it hashes all the substrings you type to check for collisions.e.g. *****

    It is a joke to see who will post their passwords.

      if there was any doubt, what you have written is your username with the year behind it and if that is your password you should change it immediately.
