The usefulness of password organizer books
A password organizer book is a notebook that has a similar appearance to those notebooks in which contact information are written down. The only difference is that in a password notebook the pages contain entered login information to various sites that you might have accounts on.
You may be wondering: “Why on earth would someone buy a simple notebook when it is not convenient at all?” Admittedly, scribbling down credentials into a password keeper book and looking up the necessary information every time any login details are needed does indeed sound obsolete, but keeping such a logbook by your side has some unexpected advantages.
Probably the biggest advantage is that a physical notebook can’t be accessed by hackers, since it doesn’t connect to the internet. Not to mention that having login credentials in a stylish notebook is way better than writing down passwords onto sticky notes that are keen at being lost. And one more thing: passwords and credentials jotted down in a password organizer book can only be destroyed if you delete the information in question or if the book is physically damaged.
Unfortunately, these journals do have major downsides too, with the most notable being the lack of security. In simpler words, if the book is lost, gets stolen or a credential goes missing due to it being torn or smudged over the years, then there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. The moment you have to reset a previously written down password you need to somehow erase it and overwrite it by the new one, often resulting in an unreadable mess. Even if you’ve been using a pencil on thick quality paper you may still end up making it one big smudge.
Additionally, the notebook must be kept in a place where nobody can access it, otherwise unwanted parties – especially those with malicious intent – may be able to find all your most sensitive data with relative ease.
Simply put: a password manager book is far from being as safe as a password manager program, but it is still better (and more stylish) than sticky notes.

Just wanted to add that Hallmark had a loose leaf, “6 ring”, password keeper that has additional sections for “personal data”, a calendar, gift guide and even a place to store social security info and more. The only downside is the fact that the tabs aren’t one per letter of the alphabet but with the option to purchase more paper and tabs, there really isn’t a need.
Hi Andrea, and thank you so much for the recommendation! Indeed, Hallmark is another great password organizer that provides a lot of flexibility. Have a nice day!”
I agree. I’m looking for a small binder that I can rearrange or add or move the sheets around in. I don’t want a book. They get too messy. I also saw a great password organizer on Amazon that had spaces for multiple passwords, since we often have to change our passwords every few months. I loved that feature, but I didn’t buy the organizer because I couldn’t remove or add pages. The perfect size for me would be about 6 x 8, too. I also like the idea of being able to lock the binder/organizer. Will someone out there please design something like this? Please?
Hello Theresa, and thank you for your comment!
We recommend taking a look at Rhonzhao and BTSFTOGET products, as they typically offer password organizers that may fit your needs. You may also want to give password managers a chance, as they’re the easiest to create and organize complex passwords. Plus, even though they’re online, several options provide hacker-proof security measures to ensure that no one, besides yourself, gets access to your information (even in case of a data breach). We recommend RoboForm, Keeper, and 1Password. Have a nice day!
I am looking for password organizer with loose leaf pages, plus alphabet tabs
I would like a password journal that has alphabet tabs and several pages for each letter of the alphabet, like an address book with loose leaf pages that can easily turn and be replaced. Pages with 4 or more password per page.
Yes! And one with single letter tabs. A, B, C, D. Not AB,CD…
Password organizers are useful. What I want is a loose-leaf bound password book so that I can rearrange the pages according to which passwords I use most often. Haven’t found one yet. Please consider making one.
