Watched a coworker print their passwords and tape them to the monitor

Is that really easier than using a password manager?

Yeah, I read an article about how a lot of security experts actually say a physical list is okay if it's kept safe at home. The real risk is using the same password everywhere online. @phoenix_clark3 has a point about trust, but a sticky note on a monitor in an office is just asking for trouble from anyone walking by.

Grandma's password notebook, always under her keyboard, shows how many folks don't trust computers.

A password manager requires you to TRUST tech, but a list on paper is LITERALLY right there.
