This is the absolute simplest book to create. No AI image generation needed. No artistic skill required. It's a repeating template of fields (Website, Username, Password, Notes) that you set up once in Canva and duplicate across 100+ pages. People buy these every single day because everyone needs to track passwords.
Select a blank 6x9 template. This is the standard size for password books.
Add a simple table/layout with fields: Website, URL, Username, Password, Notes. Use clean fonts (Arial or Open Sans). Add a line separator between entries. Fit 3-4 entries per page.
Select your template page and duplicate it 110 times. Add an alphabetical tab system (A, B, C...) every 4 pages. Add a title page and copyright page at the front.
Search 'KDP Book Cover 6x9' in Canva. Choose a clean, professional design. Add your title in large, readable font. Keep it simple — password books sell on utility, not flashy covers.

Dot marker pages are the simplest AI-generated images you can create. They're literally big circles placed on simple outlines of animals, shapes, or objects. Toddlers use dot markers (bingo daubers) to fill in the circles. Parents love these because they keep kids busy. The AI prompts are simple and the results are consistent.
