Fantstic product & experience

For APL Keyboard Symbol Sticker Set

I was a little bit worried about no-tracking clause but Canada post did their job correctly this time :)

Can't wait to nerd out with my buddies for upcoming AoC with dyalog APL!

Glad to hear you got them in time!

Have fun. APL's mind-bending, in a good way. :)

Buen dispositivo

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

Recibido en Mallorca despues de un mes de la compra,por suerte no ha pasado por aduanas.Al principio me parecio un poco complicado entender el funcionamiento pero despues de leer las instrucciones un par de veces el funcionamiento es muy sencillo.
La calidad de construccion es buena,esta hecho de acero,hay que apretar bien fuerte la rosca del cilindro donde van los anillos porque me ha pasado que al tenerlo en el bolsillo de la chaqueta me he encontrado con todo completamente desmontado,tanta suerte que no se ha extraviado ningun anillo.
Creo que seria conveniente que lo enviaran con un protector ,que se pudiera quitar y poner porque de tenerlo junto con las llaves debido al roce se dañan algunos de los caracteres de los anillos,menos mal que me he dado cuenta y antes de que vaya a peor le he puesto un trozo de cartulina negra alrededor que la puedo quitar cuando quiera,asi tambien sirve para ocultar los simbolos impresos a la vista.
En general muy buen invento,estoy esperando a que lo vuelvan a fabricar para pedir otra unidad.

¡Gracias por la reseña!

Me alegra saber que no perdió ningún anillo. Si la tapa no permanece ajustada, hágamelo saber y le enviaré un cilindro y una tapa de repuesto.

La portada es una muy buena idea! No sé si pueda hacerme uno, con la poca cantidad de producto, pero es algo que investigaré.

Still the best product in its category!

For C@RD™ Mark II (Credential @ccess Recall Device)

I ordered a few of these for myself a couple years ago, and then I ordered one for my dad when I realized he was writing all his passwords down on paper. His password strategy was pretty weak, and so I figured if he started using the C@RD he could at least make the passwords more unique and much stronger from a hashing point of view.

He loves it, I love it, one of these days I want to get either the keychain or the bracelet as an added cool factor :)
Thanks for such a great product.

Innovative, simple and secure!

For C@RD™ Mark II (Credential @ccess Recall Device)

This little "gadget" isn't just an object, but an innovate way to generate and recall very secure passcodes. Kudos to the creator! Item shipped right away and came packaged well enough to protect it. For anyone looking for a low tech (but very innovative) way to secure your digital life, this is the way to go. I can highly recommend this product.

Russ did a great job on these stickers!

For APL Keyboard Symbol Sticker Set

One of the biggest pains about using APL is getting a keyboard that handles all the symbols. Generally that involves buying a fairly expensive special-purpose keyboard or something like, as I tried to do, printing your own stickers on mailing labels, dicing the labels up, and sticking them to the keys. Works poorly. So, thanks, Russ!

I am so glad to hear you are finding them useful!

I had also tried the "print on mail labels, cut up and stick" homebrew solution and that only lasted a month or so before they started sliding around and popping off with messy goo left over.

I wish I could afford to make UK, German, etc. international layouts too, but with some scissors work hopefully people can adapt whichever keys differ.
Maybe if I sell enough of these I can make official editions for the other regions.

Fast delivery, great items!

For C@RD™ Mark II (Credential @ccess Recall Device)

This is an interesting way to create secure passwords. Obviously, being credit card sized, it is very easy to carry and offers up those needed credentials at a glance. Nice!

Five years later the key fob is still with me

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

A little worn, but still kicking.
I ended up not using it for the passwords, but instead I store my 2FA recovery codes inside, in hand-crypted form.

Finally!

For C@RD™ Mark II (Credential @ccess Recall Device)

Finally I do not have to remember my every password. It arrived yesterday so I am now changing my passwords to fit this CARD. I will definitely order more cards for my family memebers too.

Awesome product!

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

Awesome little product. Fun to use, customizable, solid, long lasting, will be using for many years to come! Shipped fast!

Christopher | April 12, 2018

Outstanding items!

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

I ordered a dual set of p@ss Mark II's. I usually have a variety of passwords that I need to input and I needed a device to work as my Key and to help me make a password of high difficulty to guess or crack. The item arrived quickly and the customer service was excellent. The seller even contacted me to verify all my information was correct (I put in the wrong Zip Code). Arrived within a week.

The item is awesome and stays with me all the time as an extra key to enter all my important pages. Much recommended.

Great product

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

Great little device for creating better, more secure passwords. As somebody who had a habit of plopping my keys down on my desk every day already, this was a great, handy little tool that is readily available if I have to log in somewhere. It still surprises me that people would choose online keychains like LastPass or Dashlane when a product like this exists. I've bought both this and several c@rds from Russ - he makes great products and I plan on continuing to purchase products from him.

Amazing product

For RiNGminder™ mkIII Password Generator/Recall Rings

These rings are of great quality and the customer service provided was fantastic!! I would definitely purchase from this seller again!

James | June 10, 2017

Exceeded expectations.

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

This is so well thought through and crafted. I appreciate this being on the market. I use it daily and would buy it again... but it appears very durable.

Alexander | March 11, 2016

Great product, exactly as described

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

The p@ss is *definitely* a great investment. Introduces a nice way to store passwords securely. Solid piece of hardware

Alex | March 1, 2016

Brilliant idea brought to life in a great product

For C@RD™ Mark II (Credential @ccess Recall Device)

Sometimes the simple ideas are the best. This is such a simple way to create highly complex passwords that cannot be guessed, even if someone else is looking right at it (although it's better that you keep it to yourself). Having seen how many companies use shockingly bad internal passwords, I'd also recommend this to all employees.

The card itself fits perfectly in a wallet, and is suitably hard-wearing. I love it!

WOW - fine thing

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

It is a "fine mechanical art work". Very stable and for long time usage (made like a tank :-)) ). I think it is a useful thing to have...

A very nice little piece of tangible security

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

Let me start by saying that this little beauty is VERY high quality. The machining is outstanding with very few tooling marks and the finish is top-notch. The threading is precise, the "wings" to assist with removing and securing the cap are a very nice touch, and even the included split ring is excellent. The P@SS has the heft and feel that says, "Hey, I'm a high-quality piece of gear." I'm quite impressed.

Functionally? It's awesome! The online instructions are great and, if you're even the least bit creative and security-minded, you'll come up with your own set of rules that are easy for you to remember, but will make it nigh impossible for anyone to guess. In fact, I'm not concerned with losing mine at all. There's practically no way to reverse engineer my passwords without compelling me to give up my secret rules. Plus, it's quick and fun to use!

It wasn't terribly obvious initially, but during checkout I discovered that for just a little more money you can order a matched pair. Now, you'll get a sheet of paper that is all you need in case you lose your P@SS, but I'd recommend taking advantage of the matched pair. Now I have the paper in my safe deposit box with my personal rules written down, the backup P@SS in my home safe (minus the written rules), and my every day P@SS in my pocket.

I've shown my P@SS to all my friends and co-workers and, once I described what it is and how it can be used, they all want one now. I think that it's a great gift idea!

Just gets better

For p@ss™ Mark II Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

I had been using the first version of the p@ss and loved it. The Mark II took a good thing and made it great!! the rings spin more easily and the characters are much easier to read. I have use it any time I'm setting up a new password or need to change an existing one. Soon all my passwords will be simple to recall but hard to guess.

Thanks for this great product it is a fun way to simplify and increase my security!

Great idea, and fantastic support.

For c@rd™ Password Generator/Recall Card

This is such a simple but great idea. I know so many people who could benefit from it (and too many people, including one or two computer specialists, who unnervingly use the expression "memorable password." The great thing is that, even if someone else has your card, it would still be almost impossible to figure out what passwords you were using where. The creator is genuinely open to suggestions and has welcomed my thoughts. Highly recommended.

Ben | June 1, 2015

Love it!

For p@ss™ Password Generator/Recall Key Fob

I have been using the p@ss since I received it just over a month ago. the instructions were clear and the product is well put together. After reading the instructions I radimized my rings, created a simple set of custom rules to remember and have been steadily replacing my passwords with new p@ss-words. having the extra security given by the p@ss is great. thanks for the great product!
