Sneaky Password Concealment
I have a parent who was always forgetting passwords and pin numbers... and wanted to write them down... So I suggest that if she needed to write down a password/pin, conceal it in some way.
So for a long time her pin number was written down as part of a phone number in amongst other phone numbers and simple passwords were written down as part of a sentence.
As for writing down passwords at home, I see no problem with that if you live in a trusting environment. My late aunt used to keep all hers written down in a little book in her desk drawer along with walk throughs/guides to do things that I'd taught her on her computer... as an 80yr old who'd suffered a couple of strokes and had memory issues it allowed her to do many things still as her tech support (me) was 250 miles away and unable to remote in due to her being in the countryside on a barely 1Mb connection.
