Rubbish. I have 507 security details (not all passwords - some are multiple passwords along with security questions and various other details) and just finding the right one would be a pain, never mind adding new ones (where? With a notebook it can only be the end, so any organisation is screwed). Then you have to consider maintenance, like the ones that insist the password is changed every month, and can't be similar to the preceding 10 or so (so all of those need to be tracked).

If you can keep all that in a notebook you're either reusing passwords, using stupidly simple ones or not logging into much.

And when you accidentally lose the notebook, or leave it behind when you're out and about, or spill your coffee on it, or it's just in the other room, you'll be wishing you had a backup somewhere. Good luck manually backing up your 'cookery' notebook.

You keep the notebook in the same place all the time.

Solved.

No, that’s awful advice for numerous reasons. Don’t do this, folks.

Yeah. And they come up with "login fatigue". Reminds me of all those new sociological concepts that in the end do promote (of course completely unwillingly) large businesses. (I do love modern sociology  :-DD )

Nevertheless, it's a real thing. It's something that really pissed me off about Linux desktops for a long time: having to bloody log in every boot, practically every config change, etc. And having to do that militates against strong passwords. If you have to type the same thing in a zillion times a day you're going to make it easy to type and remember (though after the first thousand to so times I guess you'll've got the hang of it). And also resistant to changing it.
aeberbach:
1Password replaces login fatigue with popup fatigue. Run the 1Password helper? Save this password? Another dialog that “helpfully” appears every single time a field that looks like it might possibly be a password is loaded on a web page?

It was better when it was just a simple secure vault and didn’t try to integrate itself and do everything.
