I use a system like this for some of my passwords - the only problem is that one of my banks used to keep prompting me to change my password, which interfered with my system. (And I don't think that requiring people to change their password every month makes things more secure...it just causes people to have passwords like "PasswordA," replaced next month by "PasswordB".
