@hacks4pancakes I've frequently argued for "the little password book." As long as your handwriting is nice, it's a fantastic resource for older generations to have a non technical and very well understood medium for remembering access. Most of my elder family doesn't trust password manager companies, or the cloud (wonder where they got that from).
My pro arguments are that store it in a safe place, and you'll be fine from most tragic events:
1. A decent fire rated safe will keep it out of prying hands and eyes (and water if on 2nd floor)
2. Most websites make password/access recovery easy now with the right amount of pretext access
3. Thieves really don't care about this much anymore; cash, silver, electronics is more easily fenced
...
As far as writing it down and 5th amendment concerns go, well If law enforcement requests are a part of your threat model, then we have different lives. :P
@hacks4pancakes I also have the life experiences of trying to restore access to systems from those who have passed on; what a friggin nightmare. Most password management solutions don't consider the "hey, you're fragile and you'll die. How's the access going to be passed to the next of kin?" considerations and solutions.
Bitwarden has something like that in it, which I like. I'm going to die one day, and the last thing I want my family to deal with is dancing through all the systems to regain access and keep the lights blinking while data migrates.
My older family members write theirs down, because fewer systems and similar reasons.
@dntlookbehindu @hacks4pancakes I was thinking about that when I read your "password book" post. If I have a heart attack, I'd want my family to be able to get into my computer and get important documents and photos. That's one way to ensure that.
When my dad died, I had to use Hiren's to break into his Windows desktop to back everything up. It was frankly just extra stress on top of everything else.
