Well this is insecure. Now that the public knows the algorithm you can just generate all possible number combinations up to a given length and convert them to those "secure" passwords using that algorithm to use in dictionary attack lol

Also I think this was originally a con posted by someone who wanted easier access to machines who used this algorithm using dictionary attacks.

first: I don't know your step1 password.
second: You can choose your step2 string. even a sentence.
for example: 1 d0 l0v3 my d0g
then              1d0l 0v3m yd0g              if your step1 password is 2015
then              1d)l 0v3m yd0G 1D0L


I can't see how to 'using dictionary attacks'. If you do, please tell me.

This is totally insecure now. Btw, @OP: are you sure you didn't just made your passwords available for public?

I never use same password in different place. It's a common sense 

I find this way to complicated for generating a password. First, most popular sites cut pword length at 15 chars. Second, if you want a secure password just use a passphrase, xkcd has the carbatteryhorsestaple example or you could be like Iceman: !! Onemancanmakeadifference!
Either way, it'd take trillions of years to crack according to that one website that tests that sorta thing.

it can be long and can be short, you just make a short step1 wordkey,like 3 chars, you'll have a 12 chars password. It seems complicated,but easy to do,after you do a little practice. maybe it do not fit everywhere but I think it's useful in somewhere.
