This is a good point. An out of context password on a sticky note, in my notebook (or in a coconut) isn't a major risk. But, it's also not an ideal habit to have.

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! 😂😂
