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?

You can buy leaked passwords from the dark web if you know someone's email.

So if someone got say 5 passwords from this person and look at them they'd very quickly be able to figure out the pattern and would know all their passwords.

The method they use is safe from scripts etc. But not foolproof
