Tell us what’s happening:

My solution is correct but it is not passing the test.

Your code so far

const maskEmail = (email) => {
    let hide = "*";
    const textFinder = email.slice(0, ( email.indexOf("@") ));
    const emailCheck = email.slice(email.indexOf("@")); 
    const showFirstandLast = textFinder.slice(1, ( email.indexOf("@") - 1));

    const textToHide = textFinder.replace(showFirstandLast, hide.repeat(textFinder.length))    

    return textToHide + emailCheck;
}

let email = "apple.pie@example.com";
console.log(maskEmail(email));

email = "freecodecamp@example.com";
console.log(maskEmail(email));

check the length here of the output and of the string console.log(email.length, maskEmail(email).length), they are different lengths, you added extra characters.
We can also see that putting them one above the other:

console.log(email);
console.log(maskEmail(email));

it shows:

freecodecamp@example.com
f************p@example.com

you have added two extra characters to the mail
