The down side is that this book provides no protection if the book is ever lost or stolen. A thief would have complete access to all your accounts.

For offline protection, I would suggest “The 5th Dimension Password Keeper” (Amazon – $9.95) which hides the password within a grid of other random characters. So even if the book is lost, your passwords will still be secure.

Have a great weekend!

Incidentally, my OCDisness is what makes the binder method so great for me: once a page gets too messy, I can print off a replacement page, fill in the details, and have a nice clean binder again. With a notebook, replacing pages isn’t so easy.

I don’t actually keep my passwords on my computer, just the template that I print and fill out in pencil. Really, it’s the same set up as the notebook, only I can add and remove pages at random.

Probably too much info, too! :-)

I first started keeping my passwords in excel but it didn’t work for me. Instead of taking the extra step to open up the spreadsheet I would end up writing it down somewhere. When I did have the sheet printed out I would jot my new passwords on the sheet and never update it. It would end up looking messy and I like things looking nice and organized or it deters me from using it (a little OCD perhaps :)). Then I moved on to storing them in Outlook and well pretty much the same thing happened. Anyhow probably a little more than you wanted to know but this organizer does work wonders for me because, like I said, I keep it right next to the computer so when I need to I write in the password and I’m done.

Thank you. :-)
