I'm not sure if it is, bugs like that are a serious threat. Personally I use the same (long) password for every website, except one of the characters which I replace by the website's first letter. One could think of similar, more sophisticated schemes of password reuse that yield a slightly different password for each website.
It would be even better if websites started using a public key authentication system, though.
- clay_to_n 10y agoYour "algorithm" is far less secure than using unique secure passwords through a PW manager. If someone got access to 2 (maybe 1) of your passwords, they would have all your passwords.
- necessity 10y agoI can see that if the same attacker managed to get access to two of my passwords and was particularly interested in me, but how likely is that compared to an exploit on a password manager? Besides, I change all my passwords twice a year.
