Write your passwords down (2010)
Do not do this. It&#x27;s just crappy security practice.<p>Password managers give you versions &amp; history (you need to rotate passwords occasionally), a TOTP generator+seed store, configurable password generator using a schemes of characters (some websites only allow specific characters), is encrypted at rest &amp; in memory so it&#x27;s more secure than a piece of paper in your wallet, is backed up online, and of course you only have to memorize one master password. (use BitWarden or 1Password, the rest have downsides&#x2F;limitations)<p>Besides, as XKCD made popular, long phrases of words are easier to remember than random passwords and contain plenty of entropy.<p>Also, people aren&#x27;t &quot;good at securing their wallet&quot;. I&#x27;m sure as hell not gonna write my bank account password in my wallet and then walk around Barcelona, Athens, Paris or Rome.
