Written on a scrap of paper in your wallet. only the password and no other info should be on the scrap.

If you can memorize it, it is a bad password.

[bronson]

That's not strictly true. If you're careful and imaginative, with moderate effort you can commit a fair amount of highly random data to memory. You just can't expect to change it every month.

This may be oversimplified, but it's the correct horse battery staple.

[Avshalom]

Eh, it depends, a random fragment of a very long poem for instance can be quite easy to memorize but at 80-90 words/300-400 characters long is pretty damn secure, doesn't even need to be written down then.

[DanBC]

"muscle memory" helps here. People only need to refer to the scrap of paper for the first couple of weeks of entering a password.

Then that scrap can be securely stored somewhere else. (eg: In your "in case of death" box if you want people to have access when you die.)

[korny]

What the? If you write it down, it's a bad password. Make it a pass phrase, make it long. And possibly store it in an encrypted password database, protected by a master pass phrase.

My password was randomly generated, has 85 bits of entropy and, it took me only a couple of days to memorize.

Hmm, hope you don't take many vacations
