Sadly doesn't work ever because of internet enforced password length and character pattern requirements.

So much this.

You can think of a great passwords scheme for yourself, and then find yourself in a pool of shit where hotmail asks you to have maximum 12 characters in a password, facebook requires you use a number, but it can be up to 40 characters, amazon wants you to use a special character like an @ or a # and but has a max length of 15 so on and so on.

Passwords. Suck. Use a password manager that autogenerates and autostores it like lastpass.
