Vary the password per site based on your own algorithm.
- jay_kyburz 2y agoAKA, put the name of the site in the password :)
- userbinator 2y agoNot necessarily, but just a pattern that only you would likely remember.
- viraptor 2y agoYou need a pattern that only you recognise/understand, not just remember. It takes only one leak of your password from service FooBar that looks like "f....b" to know what to try on other sites. Patterns easy to remember are mostly easy to understand.

- Sohcahtoa82 2y ago"MyPasswordIsSecureDespiteNotBeingComplexBecauseItIsLong_BobsForum" is great until Bob's Forum gets hacked and it turns out that they were storing your password in plain text and your password of "MyPasswordIsSecureDespiteNotBeingComplexBecauseItIsLong_Google" becomes easily guessed.
- zzo38computer 2y agoOne way to mitigate such a problem is to use the hash of this text as the password, instead of using the text directly.
- tshaddox 2y agoThat algorithm becomes analogous to the password to your password manager.
