I've always taken umbrage at those two lines of thought together. For the average person (you know, without dedicated enemies), a secure password written on a Post-It note on your monitor is a pretty safe scenario.
Or is Lulzsec peeking in everyone's windowz, too?
Technically.

I just don't think that's actually true for many people. My parents, for instance. Or people with home offices who don't leave the door open when they have crazy parties—or who put their passwords on a piece of paper stuffed in the middle of a book.
The point is that writing your password down, for most people, is actually good advice.
I keep meaning to start using one, but I don't know which to try. I'm an Apple user all the way (home and office Macs plus an iPhone and iPad) and some sort of sync would be great. Additionally, what are the different models for storage, encryption, and retrieval?
