It seems to me that this does not add a lot of security if you use the same extra word for all passwords.

It probably does add a lot of security if you use a different extra word for each password, but then you can't remember them anymore and you need to write them down somewhere.

I think it’s more of a last line of defence in case your password manager gets compromised. Especially if your pw manager also handles your TOPTs.

But if your pw manager gets compromised then that’s a pretty big problem so probably best to focus efforts on that not happening.

It could make sense for sensitive accounts like email, valuable social media etc

I am honestly somewhat confused by this newfound lack of confidence in human memory.

When I was 12 years old, everyone around me could easily remember up to 50 different 10 digit phone numbers, I still remember those.

Not if you use some obscure pattern for these added words. Yeah if a hacker saw a bunch of them then maybe it could be deciphered, but wayy better than reusing the same one.
