Let's not start a religious war, but FWIW many authorities have changed
their mind and no longer advocate the "don't write down a password" advice.
In particular, any network admin simply has to record passwords and other
sensitive information - you can't reliably remember more than two or three
passwords, particularly when you're not using them often.
There are many "password safe" utilities for this, but I like a simple text
file with the secrets encrypted, yet easily viewable (without changing the
file).
