SwiftOnSecurityOne of the biggest security expertise redpills is this is unironically a good idea and the time spent making fun of it was ill-advised for most users whose physical security threat is not a factor in comparison.
Linus@SwiftOnSecurity everyone dunks on writing down your password until the smart password manager system they use suffers a data breach and all their stuff gets leaked ðŸ˜
kb@linus @SwiftOnSecurity also the storage and protection of like, not accidently destroying it or losing it is far more intuitive
@donkeyblam @SwiftOnSecurity exactly, less of a need to handle complicated encryption and cloud backups (though if you'd like, encryption and cyphers are totally still an option for anything written); more so straight forward stuff like keeping it in a fireproof safe and keeping additional copies in some other safe place. Resonates far better with the hardware survival chip (gloop? X3) we have in our heads.
(And like idk personally, something about the action of writing stuff down, be it notes or passwords makes remembering it far easier)

@linus @SwiftOnSecurity well, not just hardware survival chip but also experience - someone who is 20 has 20 years of experience of what destroys and doesn't destroy things 24/7, but, most people have far less time to do so with computers
