This is dangerously insecure.
Let's say badsite.com stores your password in plaintext and their database is compromised (or they're malicious actors in the first place who created the site with the purpose of gathering login credentials).
Now, an attacker who sees this will try go to gmail.com and enter the password gmail.com!@#t3st1ng (with your email address), or bankofamerica.com and try bankofamerica.com!@#t3st1ng.
- thiagoc 12y agoYeah, you're right. Maybe a more secure way would be make reddit.com unreadable. For example: mctddr (backwards without dot and vowels) r5d9t (change vowel with the position number in the alphabet and without repeated letters) There are several ways to do it.
