    If you never, ever need your passwords outside of your home, that’s great advice - it’s as secure as can be against digital theft. Less so against fire though, and backups are out of the question.

      I have a firesafe at home for important papers, passports and some emergency cash. I keep my passwords there.

      You can have backups of physical books. Just copy the text from one to the other. Yeah it is manual work but so is writing the first one in the first place. You can then store the second copy in a fire resistant safe or at a friends or family members house (maybe inside a safe as well).

      Well you can write a copy and keep it in a shed if it’s unlikely to also catch fire.
