It’s very unlikely anyone will take the time to figure out your pattern unless you’re a high value target. If your password just gets exposed as part of a credential dump among 100 million others then the thieves will automate their attempts to try your password other places and it will fail.

If you’re a high value target then you shouldn’t do this
