Couldn't a few people get together and compare passwords and figure out
your algorithm?

I use my cerebrum cortex to store my passwords. Being a systems
administrator, I have to remember every password for hundreds of
employees. However, if you create some type of algorythm for your
passwords, they will be simple to remember/translate without having to
resort to third-party software apps.
