Clever Fox Password Book 2nd Edition Small (8.9x14.2cm) with Laminated Alphabetical Tabs – Dark Teal
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with trying to remember passwords or hunting through notes, a pocket password organiser can be a practical fallback. The Clever Fox Password Book 2nd Edition Small is designed for offline storage of login details, with alphabetic tabs so you can find the right entry quickly rather than flipping page after page. On paper, it suits people who want a simple system for passwords and related account information without relying entirely on memory.
It’s also clearly built around day-to-day usability: the book uses reinforced AB–YZ tabs, has a lay-flat binding, and includes a ribbon bookmark so you’re not constantly re-locating your place. The pocket format (8.9x14.2cm) makes it easier to keep with your everyday essentials, but do note it’s still a physical notebook, so it won’t replace a dedicated password manager if you want stronger encryption and syncing.
Where it stands out
The biggest selling point is the alphabetic layout with laminated, tear-resistant tabs. That matters because tabs are usually the first part to wear down in “grab and use” notebooks. Here, the approach is to make navigation more durable and faster.
You also get space for more than just passwords. The book includes areas for security question answers and recovery emails, plus a separate section at the front for your most visited websites. In real life terms, that can mean you keep your frequently used logins near the front (so you don’t keep re-finding them), while the rest sit behind the alphabetical tabs.
A micro example: say you’re logging into a broadband or streaming account and you can’t recall the recovery email. Instead of opening half a dozen apps or searching through old messages, you can go straight to the relevant letter tab, write the missing recovery details down, and keep everything together.

What you’ll notice day to day
The layout is aimed at speed. Alphabetical tabs mean you spend less time scanning. The lay-flat binding is also a sensible touch for a notebook you might be using at a desk, on a sofa, or while booking something online.
There’s also a decent “organisation for humans” approach: the book doesn’t just give you blank lines for passwords. It nudges you to keep security answers and recovery information together, which can reduce the hassle when you’re trying to get access back to an account.
The durability choices—vegan leather hardcover and laminated tabs—suggest it’s meant to be carried and handled, not just kept in a drawer. Still, it’s not perfect for every situation: if you need advanced security features or cloud access, a password log book will naturally fall short compared with digital solutions.
Who it suits best (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you want a straightforward, offline way to organise login details and you’re comfortable maintaining the system yourself. It’s particularly useful for households, small offices, or anyone who manages a handful of accounts and would rather have a single paper reference than scattered notes.
It may not be a great match if you’re expecting encryption, automatic backups, or cross-device access. Also, if you’re the sort of person who updates passwords frequently and wants a tool that can streamline changing and sharing them, this book will be more manual than you’d probably like.
Careful buying considerations
Before you buy, it’s worth thinking about where you’ll store the physical book. Because it contains sensitive information, it’s best treated like something you wouldn’t leave lying around.
Also check whether the size fits your preferences. The pocket format is convenient, but it also means the capacity for entries is limited compared with larger binders or multi-volume approaches. If you’re managing a very large number of accounts, it can get tight faster.
Finally, consider how you plan to organise entries: alphabetic tabs work well if you’re consistent about how you label websites. If your naming habits are chaotic, you may still spend time searching—just not as much.
Mini FAQ
Will this replace a password manager?
Not really. It’s an offline notebook for organising login details, which is different from password managers that typically focus on encryption, auto-fill, and syncing. If you only need a simple place to record passwords and related recovery info, it can work, if you want digital security features, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
Is it easy to find entries quickly?
The alphabetic tabs (including reinforced AB–YZ tabs) are designed to help you locate passwords without flipping endlessly. In practice, it depends on whether you file entries consistently under the correct letter.
What else can I store besides passwords?
The book includes space for security question answers and recovery emails, and it also has a separate section for most visited websites at the front.
Is the paper suitable for writing?
It uses thick 120gsm no-bleed paper, which should help reduce ink showing through.
Is it durable enough for everyday handling?
The laminated, tear-resistant tabs and lay-flat binding are built for frequent use, and the vegan leather hardcover is there to take some wear. As with any notebook holding sensitive info, storage and handling still matter.
Final verdict
It’s a solid pick if you want a compact, alphabet-tabled password log book that keeps related recovery details together, with durability-focused laminated tabs and no-bleed paper. You should probably skip it if you’re looking for stronger digital security features, syncing across devices, or a hands-off system for managing lots of accounts. For the right user—someone who prefers offline organisation and clear navigation—it’s worth considering.
