I keep my codes on an encrypted thumb drive I store in a fire proof box along with important documents.

As for the OP, it sounds really convenient but convenience is what led to Code Red Worm in 2001.

You have that thumb drive backed up? Because thumb drives can, occasionally, spontaneously fail, for no apparent reason whatsoever, and the fire-proof box isn't going to help (hell, it may make matters worse if futzing with it generates ESDs).

Also: where do you keep the encryption key for that thumb drive?
