+--- Day 4: Secure Container ---
You arrive at the Venus fuel depot only to discover it's protected by a password. The Elves had written the password on a sticky note, but someone threw it out.
+However, they do remember a few key facts about the password:
+
+- It is a six-digit number.
+- The value is within the range given in your puzzle input.
+- Two adjacent digits are the same (like
22 in 122345).
+- Going from left to right, the digits never decrease; they only ever increase or stay the same (like
111123 or 135679).
+
+Other than the range rule, the following are true:
+
+111111 meets these criteria (double 11, never decreases).223450 does not meet these criteria (decreasing pair of digits 50).123789 does not meet these criteria (no double).
+How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet these criteria?
+
+Your puzzle answer was 1955.
--- Part Two ---
An Elf just remembered one more important detail: the two adjacent matching digits are not part of a larger group of matching digits.
+Given this additional criterion, but still ignoring the range rule, the following are now true:
+
+112233 meets these criteria because the digits never decrease and all repeated digits are exactly two digits long.123444 no longer meets the criteria (the repeated 44 is part of a larger group of 444).111122 meets the criteria (even though 1 is repeated more than twice, it still contains a double 22).
+How many different passwords within the range given in your puzzle input meet all of the criteria?
+
+Your puzzle answer was 1319.
