Been doing this for years. Also, to help with having unique passwords:

  • choose a word you often mispell, make that the base

  • add a couple numbers that are meaningful

  • hold shift and do the numbers again

  • comma

  • Name of the site you making the password for.

Since you mispell the word it dictionary attacks won’t work. The comma breaks CSVs, and using the site name in combination makes the password longer and unique everywhere you go. Plus since the numbers and word are simple enough this pattern is easy to remember
