Yes, I'd have a backup copy (or two) of my passwords!  Over the decades 
I've had computers die: remember once came home from work to find my 256
GB HDD now thinking it was a something like 48 GB drive.  Have 
electronic backups to the NAS in the basement.

Here I have a password file on the computer -- not terribly secure but 
I'm the only one on this computer.  Some people recommend keeping on a 
thumbdrive.  I also have a Password Book: 2" ring binder with individual
pages for each site.  I also will keep other notes such as Secure 
Questions: some of my answers would normally be two words but the site 
doesn't allow, or would have an aprostrophe but again the site doesn't 
allow.....  Sometimes other information like customer service telephone 
numbers.

.... I changed my password to "Alcatraz" - 
Now my escape key doesn't work.
