PS-PasswordManager has list generation options that can tailor it to be able
to detect names (dog and wife), ATM PINs, and other common words, as well as
to be able to append sequential numbers.  It can be used to detect what you
have described as you biggest problem.  Adding a sequential number isn't
necessarily a bad idea, just dont add it to the end.
