LetsLet's say you were to add a couple of extra characters to your password, unique to all siteseach site you visit. The password would be largely similar except for a few characters of salt, possibly taken from the sitessite's url, name, etc.

Would this improve security? And if so, is it a viable alternative to password managers?
