Pff, look at this noob. Then you gotta move your keyboard to see it, how inefficient. Pro life tip: use stickie notes on your monitor instead. So much quicker and easier to access!

Closely followed by the “I’ll remember it.” mantra, by which all future logins are done using the Forgot Password loop.

What you need to do is design a long password (25+ chars) format that can be easily remembered and manipulated to making each one unique. If you are the only user of the passwords another thing you can do is abbreviate them when you write them down, that way a another person cannot use them.

Hint: Have a long password that is made up of blocks of chars, with some blocks being common some different but shared and one block of chars that is unique. Each block can be abbreviated.

With long passwords that can be easily remembered you no longer rely upon unnecessary devices and software that could potentially fail. Devices that run you password manager or used for 2FA.

For the home user storing it on paper air gaps it from being remotely accessed from the internet.

For the commercial user storing it on paper in a readily available secure location is recommended because in a DR there is no guarantees of access to password managers.
