#PasswordBooks are a bad idea right? RIGHT?! Well...I'm not so sure.
@kev @bobstechsite This is a perfect example of academic theory not matching real world use. Anyone studying security academically will always tell you to never write down passwords, but this is a real world scenario where writing it down might actually be the best choice.
@zangetsu_MG @kev there are a couple of downsides though:
a) If you're out and about with your laptop, a password book might be easy to "accidentally misplace"
b) If you lose your password book, you're screwed
This is why some people go "full old school" and keep a text file on an encrypted disk. You can print an offline backup you keep in a lockbox and you can still paste passwords into webforms instead of typing them in (dodging keyloggers)
@zangetsu_MG @kev disclaimer: I'm one of those people.
Although I have been experimenting with Firefox Sync + a master password recently to see if the convenience is worth it.
