@mooshoe So is it somthing your going to carry? or just keep locked up at home? Why not a password manager?
@timapple @mooshoe I appreciate the horse is already out of the barn, but consider Keepass - I can't speak for *all* OSs but there's definitely Linux and Android versions (I use) and I believe there are Mac/Windows ones too.
I keep my Keepass DBs synced to multiple desktops, laptops, and my phone via @nextcloud, very handy.
@gwmngilfen @timapple @mooshoe @nextcloud plug for #passgen, the command line tool I wrote that generates secure, easy-to-type passhrases. I wrote it for those times when you can't copy/paste from your password manager—with pen and paper, that's *every* time. So passgen seems like an especially good fit for your use case.

Consider a system. For example, I used to use placenames from the east coast of arctic Norway, taken from a particular map. If someone had found the map, they'd be really unlikely to guess it was my password crib sheet.
A wee sheet of paper or little notebook with all sorts of strange words in it is kind of obvious.
@simon_brooke @timapple @mooshoe @nextcloud nice, I like it. For things I won't/can't write down (login passwords are an obvious candidate) then I subscribe to the XKCD method...
But I suspect I'm preaching to the choir here... ;)

Another xkcd style password user here.
I store all my passwords in a MoinMoin markup file encrypted using Blowfish2 or GPG. I then open this file using Vim + gnupg.vim. Vim swap, undo and viminfo files are disabled for this usage. These files are then available on all the platforms I use.
