Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe?

That’s not the punt they’re making at all.

The point of that when a website password breeds to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

I didn’t know passwords could reproduce, is that how password generators work? /j

Yes exactly. Now the account locks you out after n tries, so yould also encounter problems down the road.
