Write them in a little notebook and keep it in your desk drawer.

Pen and paper is your backup. An old fuck like you should still remember how to write.

An old fuck like me can run a printer. My handwriting is much worse than my memory.

Between work and personal passwords, I have quite a list and some are really picky about allowing errors or mis-keys. Some of the industry specific programs I use actually require getting in touch with a third party before the normal three strikes - you're out.

I have a notebook with logins and passwords but they aren't in there with any rhyme or reason and often not even what program. I know where they are and luckily only need to go there when I run into a site that requires a new password after X number of days. I also open some programs with one browser and other with another browser. My husband is so very not computer savvy and he doesn't know anything about the notebook.

For a time I had a system but when I started at my current job, I was assigned logins and passwords. So that shot my system all to hell.
