I've finally rounded up all the password books I've created onto etsy. Yay!
What's a password book you ask? Well, it's the best thing since sliced bread actually. Everyone should have one of these fantastic little bridges between past ephemera and modern technology!
If you have multiple log-ins for multiple sites, you really should have passwords that differ from one another. Creating passwords that are also complex is a plus because they are more difficult to hack. If your identity is stolen, you definitely don't want to make it easy for the hacker. These are good practices in theory but in practice it is difficult to remember all of that information without writing it down.
That's where these password books come in handy! I use mine for this purpose and also for addresses and phone numbers. Definitely better than jotting things down on slips of paper that get lost or tossed out on accident.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that my favorite aspect of these tiny little tomes are their hand binding and the vintage key attached to the cover of each book. I visit my local oddities store and the little old man behind the corner has a box of orphaned old keys he lets me rifle through. Each one is different and has it's own patina from a lifetime of wear. There are some really neat designs on some of them and definitely interesting shapes for all different purposes. You can check out all the different ones here:
