When I became an affiliate with the Internet Password Organizer people (yes, that's an affiliate link), they very kindly sent me a free organizer. Which just arrived today.* I'm happy to have it. For years I've been using a program to save my passwords. It's password protected itself, so whenever I can't remember a password I have to open up the program (wait wait wait), then type in my password (which is invariably wrong the first time, though I really think it's them and not me). And every time I do it I'm a little bit annoyed. I think it's a good idea to have them on one's computer, but I really like the idea of having them in more convenient form right on my real-life desk in hard copy. So I'm going to be transferring them over.
The organizer is nice looking, hard covers, spiral bound, 5.5" x 8". Tabbed pages, with lines for Web Page, Username, Password, and Notes in the main section. Plus there are sections at the back for ISP Info, Home Network, Licenses, and miscellaneous Notes. It seems to be designed thoughtfully.
* And I knew it was going to, too! Because I used TrackThis to track the package via Twitter. So I received direct messages on Twitter as the package traveled from North Carolina to Massachusetts to Connecticut. And, I don't know, that just appeals to me somehow, watching it approach.
