Would you actually advise the public to write down their passwords, knowing that people leave their wallets or purses unattended quite frequently? Stealing a written password requires only a glance or a camera. There could easily be no evidence whatsoever of the password theft. Written passwords are not at all equivalent to physical security tokens.
