Your Wallet is the Best Password Manager

Although I use them for sites that don’t require much security, password managers are something I generally stay away from. Why? Because they store the information on my hard drive or a website, both of which could be compromised by a determined hacker. Even a relatively unsophisticated hacker could exploit an unpatched vulnerability leaving my passwords open to inspection. My personal security policy is to make it as hard as possible for someone to get to my passwords.
I write them down and keep them in my wallet.
Yes, that is the most secure “password manager” there is. No one can get to your wallet from the Internet or your PC. Passwords written on a piece of paper and stored in your wallet are nearly impossible to compromise–someone would have to steal your wallet (or you’d have to lose it) to get at them. How likely is that? I’m 55 years old and have never lost my wallet or had one stolen. Just be sure not to write down your username with the passwords.
