    This isn’t even weird.

    I think most security experts would recommend that you have your most important passwords written down somewhere, and then hopefully locked up in some safe or deposit box somewhere. You don’t need to buy an entire book for it, but some people like to spend money.

    If this is for your less important passwords, then for the most part, writing them down is actually better. You won’t be as tempted to reuse your banking password for your social media. And some people like writing things down. A password manager is a better solution, but lots of people aren’t as good with technology and if they even let the browser remember it, they won’t know how to retrieve it later if they want to use a different computer, for example.

      I have a letter in my safe in the event of my death that contains all my passwords and accounts. I have also slipped in a dead man switch that she’s unaware of that will wipe out my “collection of science”.

        Does anyone else know how to get into the safe?

      My password-manager is a script that gpg-decrypts to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and then opens it in editor, encrypts back on changes. Is that bad?

        How do you syncronize it between multiple devices and operating systems?

    I would trust it more than the biometric payment method they’re pushing in Whole Foods

    I’d rather people use this than reuse the same password everywhere.

    Here’s the thing … as crazy as a notebook with passwords sounds, it’s not accessible to someone across the internet.

      but:

      1. way less convenient to generate dozens and dozens of complex passwords. which means it’s less likely to be used/updated as much as it should be.

      2. not tied into MFA which is an additional layer of security and convenience

      Please hold your password notebook in front of the laptop camera.

      Just maybe don’t plaster “THESE ARE MY SECRETS” on the cover. Security through obscurity.

        My mom had a nice little notebook for passwords. But when she passed, we couldn’t find it anywhere… We went through the whole apartment, everything.

        Not having her passwords made a lot of things harder, closing her accounts, abusing her laptop, phone, etc. So while you shouldn’t advertise it, do tell a few people where to find it if they need to.

        INTERNET PASSWORD LOGBOOK is probably just a paper slip that you can remove, and then it’ll just be a blank leather journal.

        Now a REALLY secure physical logbook would just have the cover of a boring, unremarkable-looking book on the outside.

      It depends on what the user fills it with.

      Even the objectively safest solutions will be much shorter, and have less entropy, than what a pw-manager can deal with.

      Their Ring camera that points directly at the desk they keep this notebook on: “it’s showtime”

      It’s actually quite a secure way to store passwords, since it requires physical access.

      I knew a guy who had a drawer full of slips of paper with passwords written on. He called it the “security drawer”. Made me smile, but probably shouldn’t have been advertising it.

        Oh I know him. What a weirdo. Fun guy tho. Did he move what’s his new address anyway?

      Password managers check the URL before giving its data. A human being can be fooled into giving it to a fake web site.

        Except they can be fooled too.

        Bitwarden warns against using autofill on load for that very reason, as then simply loading a malicious page might cause it to provide passwords to such a site.

    So… It’s a password book? Like, pen and paper?Not the best choice for storing passwords, but I’d be more willing to do that than trusting Amazon not to hold my passwords hostage with a digital service by them.

    Would you trust Amazon or any huge corporation with all your login and passwords ?

      Surely they didn’t backdoor a notebook?

      I would trust them with my Amazon password.

      Valid question. But this article is a physical book in your own hands. I am not saying this is safe or anything but has nothing to do with Amazon besides that they sell it.
