        @gsuberland Writing them down and making each one unique and at least 10 characters long is very secure as long as you don’t misplace the list.

          Writing your passwords down in a physical paper notebook, also give your family a chance to access the family pictures and documents on your computers, when you are no longer able to yourself.

          Everybody should make a digital "Testament" listing passwords, and who out in the world should be told about the sad news., because they will not see the death-notice in your local paper.
