Although a good password manager is encrypted, whereas a post-it note probably isn't!

And you can set an auto timeout on good password managers so that after 10s you have to type your password manager password for access.

I think the best way to store passwords is random strings generated by a password manager, imho. Manually copy to manager on mobile and vice-versa to avoid posting via a cloud service. I'm not paranoid, honest! 😂😂
