I used to do this, but I realized that if someone got access to any of my passwords, they would easily spot the pattern.
In the end, using a password manager and generating large random passwords for each site was the best solution I found.
Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months agosuggest something like this
use your favorite password but add the site to it
so your lemmy password would be ilovemypasswordLEMMY
and your reddit password would be ilovemypasswordREDDIT
that way they can keep their shitty password but it won’t be the same password on every site and they have an easy way to remember what the proper password is for the site they want to accesss

Still better than using the same password. My argument is if you can only convince them to do at least that, it’s better than every site using the same password

That’s horrible if you ever become the victim of a targeted attack. Compromise your password once on some random shitty site and they’ve got access to everything

This will create individual passwords which is better than the same password everywhere. If it’s the least they will do, it’s better than not.
