Funny note - where I used to work, we had a password to get into a laptop in the main conference room that was automatically changed every 4 to 6 weeks or something like that. I noticed the password was hand written, then crossed out and updated in pen, crossed out and updated, etc. taped to the inside bottom of the laptop by the keyboard. When I asked the IT guy about it - he said written down passwords are the safest passwords you can have as someone will always hack and find your electronically filed passwords at home or wherever they are used. This password only got you into the computer for use in the conference room for visitors and general staff so no access to any other apps, but I thought his response was interesting. He said to make them long, complicated, hard to check, but not necessary to remember them unless you just want to keep up with them for remote access…just have access to them in writing and hide them well. And yes, MFA is a great.
