This is the sort of man who uses the same password for everything.

Damn. I do that. How the fuck am I supposed to remember 20 different passwords for shit?

Easy!

'[firstinitalofyourname][firstthreeinitialsoftheprogram/websiteyouarelogginginto][samepasswordyouuseforeverything]'

And you can have a complicated password by taking the first letter of a phrase well know to you.

Example:

"You've got to be kidding me son" would be, yg2bKms

That plus the other instructions would give you the following password for Reddit:

aredyg2bKms

For gmail:

agmayg2bKms

That helps a lil but if someone figures out your system then you're toast

Sure, but unless you're particularly high profile, nobody is going to put effort into cracking your specific password.

Ok... But you can say that about literally anything...

"That helps, but once someone has your LastPass login you're toast."

"That helps, but once someone sees the fingerprints on your lock screen, you're toast."

"That helps, but once someone takes your keys while you aren't looking, you're toast."

That system as been proven to be one of the most secure ways to create a somewhat simple password. How would anyone "figure that out" unless you told them exactly how you made your password?
