“People can no longer remember passwords good enough to reliably defend against dictionary attacks, and are much more secure if they choose a password too complicated to remember and then write it down. We’re all good at securing small pieces of paper. I recommend that people write their passwords down on a small piece of paper, and keep it with their other valuable small pieces of paper: in their wallet.”
Counterintuitive, but makes sense. I’m probably more at risk of online crime from l33t hackers than from the sort of people who would have easy access to such scraps of paper in my wallet.
