We have a non-electical device that stores passwords at our house. It is secure from hackers. I call it a notebook.

A note book cannot be carried along, a small gizmo which fits intoyour pocket is more convenient.

Notebooks come in all sizes. As long as you don't use a novel or a telephone book for a password, a pocket sized notebook should do fine.

OK, It looks like match with the electronic time

I have all my passwords on one small sheet of paper. If I wanted to, I could fold it in half and slip it in my wallet. It would be hard to make an electronic device as small, rugged and cheap.

If you're worried about someone stealing it, you could encode it in some simple way. For example, you could write them all backwards, or put the first number or letter at the end. Or you could have all your passwords begin or end with the same number and not write it down, i.e. have all your passwords end with a 4 but don't write it on the list. You could easily remember to add the 4 to each one when you use them.

Mine fits into my back pocket and is thin enough to be un-noticable. The batteries never fail because it has none. If I drop it it does not get damaged. I can keep dates & times on it. I can keep names & contact numbers, e-mail addresses, and a whole array of other info.

Some people call them their "little black book".

Pep,

Are describing a cell phone?

I have seen that any computer savy guy needs to remember atleast20-30 passwords. A neat little convenient gizmo which fits intoyour pocket is a need which needs to be fulfiled

I keep an excel spread sheet with mine. I understand from EE friends that the best way to steal a password is to trojan a keystroke logger into someone's computer. This is where a spread sheet beats the written-down passwords. With the spread sheet, I only copy and paste, so I never actually type the password. Yes, it's on the computer or I can put it on my gmail account if I need it from somewhere else, but I really doubt a hacker will worm through all of my .xls looking for a password.

I do see the need for this sort of thing, but to have a gadget just for it is scary. I thought about putting them on my phone once, but if I lost my phone, every password I have would be 'out there.'

I am a fiction writer, and your article gave me a good plotline. Many thanks!
