I don't believe they would determine or even expect it is following an algorithm.

For example on HN my password could be 1YCju7i8!

It isn't, but let's pretend it is.

That is a counter at the front, YC is from the website address, j from my user name, and u7i8! It's the unique key. I use the same key everywhere so it's easy to remember.

I don't think a hacker would figure it out.
