I keep my passwords in a small book the size of a passport and I secure it the same way I secure my wallet. No visitor is going to get access to it and no video call would get a look at it (if I did those). Bruce Schneier recommends this approach. Most people are going to use crackable passwords if you insist that they memorize them. You can't stop that by yelling at them. I use a password manager for non-critical passwords, but I also write them down in my password book. I don't want to lose them in a disk crash and I won't store anthing important in the "cloud". The never write down a password rule originated back when you only had one 6 or 8 character password which you used to log on to the VAX via the VT100 in your cubicle. People would stick a slip of paper with their password on it under the keyboard where the janitor could get at it. -- John Hasler j...@sugarbit.com Elmwood, WI USA
