Not quite as bad but I got a letter recently from something bank-ish (huge, international, traditional) that contained some serious admonitions including one about never using password managers or writing down the password in any way, concealed or not didn't matter.

I have problems taking any security advice seriously from such companies after that but since I fully expect them to use ut against me if I ever have to file a fraud complaint I guess I'll have to deal with it - and get another account with a company that isn't braindead when it comes to security.

seems to be continuing the pattern of shifting responsibility. 20 years ago, we had 'bank fraud', but now much of that same activity is 'identity theft'. This shifts the burden from 'their' problem to 'my' problem.
