Bruce Schneier thinks it's OK to keep your password on a piece of paper in your wallet. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/06/write_down_your.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/06/write_down_yo... But, of course, don't write the password to an encrypted drive on a piece of paper that you keep with the drive.

It depends what the alternatives are, and what threats you face.

That's also from 2005... Which isn't to say that it isn't still relevant. Most people don't understand that you really do need random passwords, which means that you must figure out how to create them properly. Sure write them down if they don't matter, but don't write your bank account password down, or your google account. Especially if you have your ID in your wallet it'd be pretty easy to find you and get all your passwords if you lost your wallet. If you DO write them down, leave some portion of your password off. I.E. your password is "password*&^&" only write down "password" and append the rest from memory.
