    I don’t like how writing down passwords on notes has been heavily criminalized. Obviously it’s a security risk, but so is having a simple password that isn’t written down anywhere. In fact, the latter is often more dangerous, depending on the specific environment. Just make sure the note isn’t easily accessible and you’re good.

      Yes. Writting down a complex password helps against most attacks, except one where the bad guy has physical access to your note. Based on the normal users use case that is probably a very good trade off. Most hacks are done over the internet without access to your note.

      Ideally everyone should use a password manager, but that is highly unlikely any time soon.
