We live in the age of pass codes. We have codes for our home alarm system, codes for the garage door, pin numbers for ATMs, codes for home safes, combination locks for school and gym lockers. And don't even get me started with the gazillion-and-one passwords for online accounts. Each one is supposed to be different. Different lengths, different characters. Numbers, letters, a combination of the two. Some have to be changed every six months for maximum protection.
With so many numbers crowded in my head, I can barely remember my husband's cell phone number.
Fortunately, there's a company called WordLock, that makes my life a bit easier. They've come up with combination locks that use words instead of numbers! OMG -- can you say sliced bread? I first discovered WordLock almost a year ago, when I stumbled upon their four-letter combination bike locks at Target. Neither The Pea nor I can ever remember the 4-digit passcode for her combination cable bike lock, so it was such a relief to have locks with passwords that my boys could actually remember on their own! A couple of months after that, by some happy coincidence, WordLock invited me to review their TextLock word-based padlocks. This time around, they sent me a couple of their bike locks to review.

WordLock also sent me their regular Bike Lock, which is quite an upgrade from the Mini-Cable Lock. It comes with a mounting bracket, so you can get it on and off your bike easily. It's 5 feet long, so you can wrap it around trees and awkwardly-shaped bike racks. It's made of thick, braided steel, so it deters bike thieves. Best of all, you can set your 4-letter password to any word or letter combination that has meaning for you, so you'll never forget it.

Setting the password couldn't be easier -- even I can do it. There's an inner dial with 2 settings. Just open up the lock, turn the inner dial to "set", set your password, then turn the inner dial to "lock", and voila, you've locked in your password! To reset your password, just go back to the beginning of the previous sentence and start again.
If you're worried that someone might guess your password, don't be: you can set up to 10,000 possible letter combinations. They don't even have to be proper words: you can use acronyms (i.e. BLWL -- Bonggamom Loves Word Lock) or that
