Writing down certain passwords can be very convenient. No hacker on the internet is going to access the piece of paper on my desk.
I consider myself computer savvy and I still write down some passwords on paper instead of having them stored on an internet connected computer. (I believe burglars really don't care about passwords. And it is very easy to obscure the written passwords.)
