Reply to comment by ADroopyMango in Millions of passwords stolen from LastPass earlier than company disclosed: Report by BasedSweet

To be honest, not even paper. I would place a website and password clue in a text file. I'm not talking something simple like animal+49 = giraffe49, I'm talking about a clue where you already remember a whole bunch of passwords, you just need to know which one you used for that specific site so that you don't have to annoyingly try them all or get locked out.

Oh yes. A list of 150 passwords.

And still super insecure. A good hacking tool would need like 0.0001 seconds to check them all. With 4GHz and 6 cores (24 million tries per second), this is an easy task.

Nah, a reference to each password completely internal to your head. Even if it's something like 'password 1, password 2, etc.' There's zero correlation between the passwords and what I stated.

But again. With 150 services it’s quite hard to remember even with reference. And I look it up again. I have exactly 241 passwords in my manager.

They each need to be secure and not dependent on each other.

This sounds like a very complicated Caesar cipher mixed with password reuse to me.
