Bruce Schneier just died a little inside

Why should he? He actually recommends to write passwords down on paper.

And for most attack scenarios for the private user, "a logbook on the desk next to the computer" isn't a big difference to "little bits of paper in the wallet".

"Don't write passwords down" was advice from the 1990's, when the primary attack vector was people physically taking over your keyboard.

Nowadays complex passwords on sticky notes stuck to the monitor isn't terrible practice. A physical notebook you can take with you is probably safer than just about anything else.

As a link bait headline that scores best of the week for me.

But like other posters, this is not that bad an idea - if your total value of passwords is say your savings account plus a bit, then you will look after that book about as much as you would a wallet with a couple of grand in it. Walking around with that much cash is not crazy man behaviour

Although I would like some arduino based keypad and display just for my passwords so I could carry it around. My laptop is never where I need it for that last password.
