Technology

This isn't even weird.

I think most security experts would recommend that you have your most important passwords written down somewhere, and then hopefully locked up in some safe or deposit box somewhere. You don't need to buy an entire book for it, but some people like to spend money.

If this is for your less important passwords, then for the most part, writing them down is actually better. You won't be as tempted to reuse your banking password for your social media. And some people like writing things down. A password manager is a better solution, but lots of people aren't as good with technology and if they even let the browser remember it, they won't know how to retrieve it later if they want to use a different computer, for example.

I'd rather people use this than reuse the same password everywhere.

That’s exactly what I use. Chances of my house getting robbed is small. Chances of yet another data breach is very high - this year my data was breached at least 2ce that I remember.

I would trust it more than the biometric payment method they’re pushing in Whole Foods

Im guilty of this. I dont write out the passwords in plaintext though. Its mostly just a few letters to remind me of which version of my many "master" passwords i used and then asterisks. ~PW0****$~ kinda thing. I know its bad but I can't bring myself to trust a password manager.

My master password is physically present as a mnemonic device, but not available digitally. Anywhere.

Beyond that I really cannot recommend this book: You need to be able & willing to type your passwords out, which means simpler and shorter passwords. I use 99 character complete random ASCII-strings by default. Try typing that in even once.

But there's a different, unspoken criticism here: don't store your database on a 3rd party server, a.k.a. "The Cloud". I use KeepassXC btw. - and my very own "cloud".
