      Either it’s simple for you and anyone reading one or two of your leaked passwords, or it’s not, you can’t have simple obfuscation rules that still work after a password reset or two and aren’t easy to reverse engineer. You can’t have complex rules that are hard to figure out for potential hackers, but easy to remember across password resets and multiple sites.
