thiagocon Show HN: Pastor generates and stores passwords without storing any passwords

Yeah, you're right. Maybe a more secure way would be make reddit.com unreadable. For example:

mctddr (backwards without dot and vowels)

r5d9t (change vowel with the position number in the alphabet and without repeated letters)

There are several ways to do it.

thiagocon Show HN: Pastor generates and stores passwords without storing any passwords

I have used a similar aproach, but I don't hash them. Here's a example:

Supose I have the master password "t3st1ng" and "!@#" as separator. When I want to register on site www.reddit.com, I just use the password "reddit.com!@#t3st1ng".

This way I always have a strong password and I can use different passwords in every site, and I just have to remember the master password.
