I used to think my dad was paranoid for writing his passwords on a piece of paper in his desk drawer.
After my cousin's entire Instagram got hijacked last month from a keylogger, I realized that physical paper in a locked drawer at home is way safer than reusing the same password on five different sketchy websites. Has anyone else had a similar wake-up call about an old-school security habit?

Yeah, the "physical paper in a locked drawer" thing is smart. My friend's email got broken into from a data breach on some app, and now she keeps her main passwords written down at home too. It seems backwards but it actually works.

That "seems backwards but works" idea is everywhere now, like @the_holly said, from notebooks to vinyl records.
