The biggest issue with passwords is using the same one with the same username everywhere. I knew this, still did it with accounts I didn't really care about (Netflix, Hulu, Skype, etc) and, of course, after 10 years of using the same one, just about every place I used it was getting accessed by someone else over the last few month. Writing down passwords and keeping them in plain site in your house is probably safer than using a username/password combo that you use a lot, on a system any script kiddie can get at.
