  const [username, domain] = email.split("@");
  if (username.length <= 2) "*****@" + domain;
  return `${username[0]}*****${username[username.length - 2]}@${domain}`;
}
let email = "apple.pie@example.com";
console.log(maskEmail("apple.pie@example.com"));

Hi @malvo,

It looks like you’re hard coding the asterisks, but those should be dynamically determined.

Look at the expected pattern. Only the first letter and last letter in username are retained. The other letters are replaced with asterisks.

Happy coding
