I have written down key passwords which I keep in my wallet. To get my wallet, you will have to shoot me dead (of course, you may very well be an expert pickpocket adept in the arcane arts of diversion). Anyhow, here in the Gallic regions where spring is busting out all over, this password question isn't even remotely related to the problem statement, as much of my personal data was revealed to unknown sources by a medical professional who fell for a phishing technique (my French SSN, name, DOB, and god know what else through no fault or foible of my own fell into nefarious hands). As a source of futile comfort, I can share my grief with nearly half of the French population. In more recent news, Pole Emploi, (which now goes by the moniker of 'France Travail'), suffered a similar a data breach. The only real remedy is to unplug yourself entirely from the system (Unibomber-style). À bon entendeur, salut ! --
