Yeah, especially here on HN you hear about people not thinking about threat models. And yes, Denial-of-service by forgetting the password or having it inaccessible is a threat model

That's why I just laugh at the people who think putting everything in a password manager is the best way. It is good, but you need to understand your cases/threats and risks

Sometimes writing it in a piece of paper is the best solution

Writing passwords on a sticky note on the bottom of your keyboard in an office is obviously a bad practice. A unique string password on a piece of paper in a drawer at home only you would normally have access to? Not clear. And obviously you can hide things in a house more thoroughly than that with the risk that you get too clever.
