Description

  The present invention relates to a notebook suitable for managing passwords used for services on the Internet.

  In recent years, various services using the Internet have been provided. Usually, in such a service on the Internet, membership registration or the like is performed, and a login ID and a password associated therewith are input, so that a service using account information unique to the user can be used.

  In many cases, the password associated with the login ID is configured to be set by the user, but the user tends to set a password that can be easily remembered by the user. For example, a date such as a birthday, a name or a nickname, other real words, or a character string derived from a combination thereof is often set as a password. In addition, a notebook for recording information such as a site name, URL, ID, and password has been proposed so that the login ID and password are not unknown (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-195024 A

  By the way, there is a problem of hacking that illegally intrudes into services on the Internet using another person's login ID, but as a hacking technique, a large number of login IDs and password candidates prepared in combination are randomly combined. There are also so-called “brute force attacks” and “dictionary attacks” that attempt to log in. Since it is not uncommon for multiple services to use the same ID / password combination, if one user knows the login ID / password combination, other services will also make unauthorized intrusions. There is a risk that damage will be increased.

  In the above hacking method, since the login ID and password are randomly combined, the correct combination of the login ID and password may be attempted by chance, so even if measures are taken to prevent leakage of the password, fraud is prevented. It ’s difficult. The above-mentioned dates, words, etc. are easy to remember and easy to remember, but are likely to be included in the password to be tried and tend to be hacked. On the other hand, meaningless character strings, character strings containing various symbols such as “%” and “$”, etc. are difficult for a user to remember and cannot be easily created, but are not easily included in a password to be tried. There is a tendency not to be hacked.

  As described above, there is a trade-off between the ease of creating a password and the ease of remembering and the ease of hacking.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a notebook suitable for password management.

  In order to solve the above problems, a notebook according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a random number table that specifies a character string that constitutes a password, and a recording field for recording information indicating the password for each account. The random number table has a plurality of cells arranged vertically and horizontally, and each character corresponds to the number of columns in the character string column in which the character string constituting a part of the password is printed in each cell and the character string column. A column coordinate field in which a column display symbol indicating a column is printed in each cell, and a number of cells corresponding to the number of cells in the character string column, And a line coordinate column in which a line display symbol indicating a line is printed.

1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a notebook 1. 3 is a plan view showing a spread state of the notebook paper 10. FIG. It is a figure which shows the modification of the random number table. It is a figure which shows the usage example of the notebook 1. FIG.

  Hereinafter, a notebook 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the notebook 1. The notebook 1 is bound in a booklet form by binding a plurality of notebook papers 10 into a cover cover 11. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a spread state of the notebook paper 10. A calendar column 101 is arranged at the top of the left page 10L in the spread state, and a random number table 102 is arranged at the bottom. A recording field 103 is arranged on the right page 10R in the spread state.

  A calendar for each month is printed in the calendar column 101, and a schedule or the like can be freely entered. The random number table 102 designates a character string that constitutes a password. The random number table 102 has a plurality of cells arranged vertically and horizontally, and includes a row coordinate column 102a, a column coordinate column 102b, and a character string column 102c. In the example of FIG. 2, the leftmost column of the random number table 102 is the row coordinate column 102a, and the top row is the column coordinate column 102b. Further, the portion other than the row coordinate column 102a and the column coordinate column 102b in the random number table 102 is a character string column 102c.

  The character string column 102c is composed of a plurality of cells (cells) arranged vertically and horizontally. Each square is printed with a character string constituting a part of the password. The character string may be a random arrangement of alphabets, numbers, and symbols. The character string may be different for all squares, or may be common for some squares. The character string may be a character string having the same number of characters (for example, four characters) in all squares, or may not be the same number of characters. The random number table 102 is preferably different every month.

  The line coordinate field 102a has a number of cells corresponding to the number of cells in the character string field 102c. A row display symbol indicating a row of the character string column 102c is printed on each square constituting the row coordinate column 102a. Similarly, the column coordinate column 102b has a number of cells corresponding to the number of columns in the character string column 102c, and each cell constituting the column coordinate column 102b includes a column of the character string column 102c. The column display symbol indicating is printed. The square of the character string column 102c can be specified by the combination of the row display symbol and the column display symbol. The row display symbol and the column display symbol may be a series of continuous characters such as the numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, or the alphabet “A”, “B”, “C”. Although it is good, it is good also as a random character. Further, the row display symbol and the column display symbol are not limited to characters but may be symbols and pictures as shown in the modification of the random number table 102 shown in FIG.

  The recording column 103 is a column for recording information indicating a password for each account, and a column for entering a date, a password arrangement, a memo, and the like is provided for each account (name of service on the Internet). .

  Then, the usage method of the notebook 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. Assume a situation in which a new password is set when registering service usage or changing settings on the Internet. In such a situation, the user opens the page of the month corresponding to the date for setting the password in the notebook 1, and according to the range of the number of characters of the password to be set, the required number of squares from the character string column 102c. select. A password is created by connecting a plurality of selected squares. Then, a row display symbol and a column display symbol for specifying each square are entered in the password array column of the recording column 103. At the same time, enter the account, date, etc. The password created in this way is set for the account. When you need to remember your password, you can easily remember your complex password by identifying the character string corresponding to the password array from the random number table 102 for the month corresponding to the date entered in the record field 103 Can do.

  FIG. 4 shows a specific usage example of the notebook 1. That is, “C4E2B7” is entered in the entry column 103 of the January 2018 page of the notebook 1 as a password array indicating the password created on January 10, 2018 for the SNS service A. The password indicated by the password array is specified as a sequence of character strings in the squares of the random number table 102 in which the combination of the row display symbol and the column display symbol is “C4”, “E2”, and “B7”. Can do. Since the character strings “C4”, “E2”, and “B7” in the random number table 102 are “$ Jm8”, “To7 #”, and “? 2Cf”, respectively, the password set for the SNS service A is It can be seen that “$ Jm8To7 #? 2Cf”. Also for the SNS service B and the storage service C, dates and password arrays are entered, respectively, and the password can be specified based on the random number table 102.

  In addition, said usage method is an example and you may use it by a different method. For example, an arbitrary character or symbol may be included in addition to the combination of the row display symbol and the column display symbol as the password array indicating the created password. That is, when “C4hE2” is entered in the recording field 103 as the password array, “$ Jm8” printed on “C4” in the random number table 102, the letter “h”, and “E2” printed on the random number table 102 “$ Jm8hTo7 #” in which the ordered “To7 #” is arranged may be used as a password.

  Further, the combination of the row display symbol and the column display symbol may be remembered by the user himself without entering it in the notebook 1, and only the date when the account and password are created may be entered in the recording field 103. In this case, when it is necessary to remember the password, the password character string may be specified by referring to the random number table 102 of the month corresponding to the date when the password of the account is created.

  As described above, according to the notebook according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible not only to easily create a complicated password that is difficult to hack, but also to record the created password as a password array so as not to forget it. I can keep it. By making the random number table different every month, the same password can be made difficult to be used for multiple accounts, and even if one account is hacked, the effect can be prevented from affecting other accounts. .

  In addition, although embodiment of this invention was described above, this invention is not limited to these examples. For example, the layout of the notebook paper 10 is arbitrary. Moreover, it is not limited to providing as a booklet notebook, but may be provided in a so-called refill format in which the notebook paper 10 can be replaced. Further, those in which those skilled in the art appropriately added, deleted, and changed the design of the above-described embodiments, and combinations of the features of each embodiment as appropriate also have the gist of the present invention. As long as it is included in the scope of the present invention.
