You could use a different password for each service and just write them in a paper notebook.
Paper is generally not susceptible to malware or other ways passwords can leak from a local or hosted password manager.

- xenocratus 5y agoAnd also if you ever need to access anything on-the-go, you either can't or have to keep the notebook with you and make it susceptible to the things you mentioned + theft or snooping.

- magarnicle 5y agoFor some people (when paired with storing the notebook in a physical safe), it is. My parents were using Lastpass but somehow managed to lock themselves out completely and none of the recovery options worked. For their use case and technical skill, a safely-stored notepad is best.
