Encryption is a thing. If we can’t trust encrypted data then security the password is worthless anyway as everything is owned.

This is why password managers are generally considered secure. They store only client side encrypted blobs and do not store or know your master password.

Like you, I have no concerns with storing your master password on paper in a locked drawer or something, but it’s unrealistic to securely store post its for every password you need as well as have them readily accessible.

Readily accessible to you is readily accessible to hackers. People should re-evaluate how many things they must have access to everywhere they go.

For example, my 2FA tokens are backed up in physical storage. This means if I'm traveling and I lose my phone, I don't have access to them until I get back. But that's a lot safer than leaving them somewhere others can access them too.

Hackers don’t have quantum computers to crack my password vault.
