Description

Hello,

My name is Emma, I am conducting an academic study on possible credential exposure in public GitHub repositories.

While analyzing this repository, I found a string that may represent a credential. I'm including the code snippet below containing possible leakage. To avoid exposing sensitive information publicly, I marked the sensitive information.

Could you please help clarify whether the detected string is:
1. a real credential, or
2. a placeholder / example value?

Thank you for your time.

**Code snippet (sensitive values masked):**

```
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Running Create User API");
var user = await users.Create(
userId: ID.Unique(),
email: "test@e****le.com",
password: "te****345",
name: "Walte**** Brian");
Console.WriteLine("Done");
}
catch (AppwriteException e)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error: {e.Message}");
```

Thank you in advance for your time - I really appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Emma

Research direction

The issue provides only a masked C# snippet and does not name a file, test, or entry point. Review the repository examples and their history to identify the snippet and determine whether the values are placeholders or credentials; completion requires confirming the finding and deciding what repository change, if any, is needed.
