Review on Advantus 300 Card Capacity 5 X 8 Index Card Holder, Black (45003) by Tiffany Harvey

It's a very minimal 3x5 index card file. I bought it to use as a backup password manager. It is time consuming to keep this dual code system but a real gamechanger and time saver when something goes wrong with your password app. *heed Murphy's Law* I have a printer at hand. So, to update a password, I just open a website's 3x5 MS Word password file, change the login credentials, recovery code & anything else pertinent, change the revision date in the file name to the current date, print a copy for my index card file, save the new file in my secure cloud vault and delete the old file. Be sure to delete with a destructive delete app or empty the trash can. Old passwords have power and shouldn't be left in the trash. They can sometimes be used as an identifier to gain account access.The card file has no latch, per se, just a raised plastic catches, lid to body, in front (integral part of the box) that don't hold well. I keep it closed with a thick rubber band to avoid playing 52 Card Pickup every time it gets tipped over (it's lightweight and tips easily). There are no hinges, just a polyethylene strip that join the lid and body (it's all a one piece LDPE extrusion). I expect the (not) hinges to fail inside of a year. I bought some nice Pendaflex colored plastic alphabet index tabs to keep the file organized but found that the card file is too short. There's only enough room for a skoch over 3" in height, so the nice tabs have to lay at a bit of an angle to fit. Considering the price of metal, or more solid plastic card files, this is a good deal. There are cigar boxes that seem practically designed to be 3"x5" and 4"x6" index card files (sorry, I don't recall the brands) but they seem to be in short supply and smoke shops now all seem to want to be paid for their formerly discarded packaging.
