    The main weakness it has is from a nosey flatmate, spouse, or child in the house.

    I disagree. Using this book will always lead to shorter passwords that are easier to type. That’s the main weakness imo.

    Or in other words: it really depends what the user fills it with. It should be accompanied by a little machine that spits out random passwords, I’m thinking a rubics-cube-shaped bling pendant at the end of the bookmark band.

        Which you then have to type out every time. Laziness wins: they will be shorter.

        The assumption is that the product is for non-savvy users. They might not even understand what you wrote up there.

        Autocorrect can help here, but dictionary words are easily brute-forced guessed. And - more importantly - that hypothetical user would have to come up with that idea in the first place. But people who come up with such ideas usually already use password managers anyhow.

      a rubics-cube-shaped bling pendant

      I’m imagining a different character on each face of each cubelet, which you would throughly scramble each time for a one-in-whatever-gagillion string? Am I getting that right?
