Password Cards

A password you carry in your wallet, written down in plain sight, and still useless to whoever picks it up. The card is random; the route you take through it is the part you memorize.

Password security is the most critical thing for users to take seriously. A useful tool is this website that allows you to make more secure passwords with a handy tool you keep on you.

Passwordcard.org has made a useful tool that allows you to make an unlimited number of passwords while simplifying the generation process.


How it works

Your PasswordCard has a unique grid of random letters and digits on it. The rows have different colors, and the columns have different symbols. All you do is remember a combination of a symbol and a color and then read the letters and digits from there. It couldn’t be simpler!

When making a new card, DO NOT forget to check the “Add symbols box on the right.”

Print, laminate, and keep on you to have your password “written down” but not recoverable without what you know.
