Old coworker called my password habits '1999' and it stung

He saw me write a password down on a sticky note in my home office, said it was like leaving a key under the mat. Switched to a password manager the next day, took about an hour to set up. Anyone still using a physical notebook for this stuff, or is that just me being stubborn?

Man, I had my passwords in a literal notebook until last year. Felt like a caveman drawing on the wall once I finally switched.

@parker_thomas, did you ever worry about someone finding that notebook?

Wait, passwords in a notebook? Like a physical book with all your login info written down in one place? That's wild to me. You're basically handing over your whole digital life to anyone who finds that thing. What if you lost it at a coffee shop or something?
