    It’s a primitive password manager, primitive because unencrypted and not integrated into your devices, but far better than not having a password manager.

        Notebook refers to a paper notebook. Not a laptop.

            A world where we all go insane from explaining “we can’t just ‘hack’ your bitlocker key” over and over to every older relative we have…
