It’s not clear to me what you’re proposing, but if you change your master 
password in this scheme, it changes all your passwords. I just want to change 
the password at one site and leave all the others the same. You could start 
doing goofy things like Google5 -> Google6 for the site name, but that defeats 
the elegance of it because now I need help to remember all these additional 
numbers for all the sites.

At that point, why not just change the salt from Google -> 
#$kjj1@asjk1jSJd@,c,.ajkdAS when I want to change the password?

Which requires a service to help me remember.

Which makes me wonder why you just don’t use a password manager with randomly 
generated passwords.
