The only problem with a note book full of passwords is that in order for it to be effective on the go you need to bring it with you. That carries the risk of someone getting a hold of this notebook and really ruining your day.
Since I'm an artist, I draw a cartoon of each password with a series of numbers next to it. This never leaves the house. Anyone who sees it,won't know what the drawings mean..If they type in Tux (Linux mascot) or penguin, for the penguin drawing, it still won't help them.
Well,basically,it's groups of drawings with numbers .Looking at this,as an example. Yeah,it's a chicken. But does that mean the password is chicken? Or chikkin? Or dinner? Or does said chicken have a name? Did I perhaps have a chicken as a pet at some point? And what are those numbers about?
The most secure place to store your passwords is to buy a real paper notebook and write them in. What I have been doing for years.

Would you be interested in posting some after you retire the password? It would be fun to try to figure it out just by the drawing.

A very novel solution... cartoon based encryption :)
I read recently that emoji based passwords may be a good idea, so I think /u/gozzin may be onto something here
I think the best password storage is still my brain. Try stealing that one!
