Many people think of using passwords for their data security, but few of them think about how to protect their passwords. The passwords we use also need to be protected. While creating a password, it’s better to create a strong password, but because many people can forget it, they choose to use weak or reused passwords, which make their accounts more vulnerable to breaches. Many people forget their passwords, and sometimes it’s impossible for some systems to restore forgotten passwords. This is why I thought the solution of that problem: Creating a writing system (script) as secure method to write and save offline my passwords or/and secret personal notes. The result of this study is to show that anyone can create easily not language, but his own alphabets or writing system (script) and this will help to resolve the problem of forgetfulness and confusion of passwords and you will never have fear again of creating strong passwords or passphrases. The finding will also help to write and save safely your secret personal notes using your own writing system (script).
