i set up hidden cameras pointed at the keyboard to figure out the internet restriction password on the computer at home

My youngest hacked our Netflix parental code. She put light grease on the remote and got me to input the code when she wasn’t looking. Then she noted the numbers I’d pressed and went through the combinations later. I’m both frightened and impressed.

How did you get hidden cameras?

i just used a little handheld camera thing that had a video option and i stashed it nearby in some plants or something

I just guessed some likely 4 digit codes for my family TV password and got it in under 10 tries.

Literally did the same. At the time, the camera only worked for 30s, so it was really tight - will my father type it soon enough or not?

On the plus side, we have access to Netflix view history via their webpage :) Would be interesting to see what our kids are working so hard to view, and then discuss it with them!

i watched my dad’s fingers and counted the number of letters in the password after that he made me leave the room when he entered important passwords

I'm lucky that I haven't really needed a restriction password because of my kids watching stuff they shouldn't. I had to add it because my 2 year old kept buying stuff behind my back without knowing it 😡
