1) I did not say that. 2) The advice is given by a recognized security expert, not just me. > The fact is that most security violations do occur when an "insider" > has obtained physical access to the system involved. And I did make a special mention for companies. I said that if you are in a company, the password should be some place safe and that a sticky note, or a drawer wasn't it. Disgruntled employees are not likely to break into your home to steal your password. > If the written down password is secure, then it's okay to write down.

Don't confuse "write it down" with "put it on a sticky note on your monitor". People: * WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORDS. * Put the password some place safe enough for your situation.
