Password(s)
Because I come from a traditional clerk / typist / receptionist / telephonist work background I do have things to bring to the table, even though I shall always be a tech novice = no probs
From the beginning of using the old tower system of computers I have had beside my computer electronic device an old paper & pen address book
here goes websites I use &, of course, passwords, all of which are different = no brainer imhho (humble / honest)
some silly sod who should have known better advised me to use the same password for everything 'cos then you remember it = Nnooo!
So you have company / person's name + web site + Email address + password + or - telephone number
All in an A-Z pen & paper format taking up little space on your desk
a little feedback would be nice ...

Just make sure it's not available to any intruder when you are out of the house. But it works for some for those rarely used websites, I'm scared if you write down banking passwords Jane, information like that is a godsend to the criminal element that crawl around in our neighbourhoods.

I didn't think of this @jonsie ... my finances are only with the Yorkshire Bank ... & ... I have the business cards of both assistant bank managers ... insurance(s) are with them too ... so ... I suppose a call to them in banking hours or walk into the shop in banking hours is what I would do ... if out of hours I would have to ring their Customer Services telephone number which is only in the above mentioned address book ... ... ... I could always get up to date my somewhat neglected house paper & pen address book which an intruder would not easily find ... ... ... after the recent mess-up when my phone got broken overnight somehow & I got a new one with only Facebook contact numbers on it ... ... ... lost a lot of useful contacts details ... ... ... I'm reluctant to wholly rely on any portable electronic device(s) ... ... ... there is always starting from scratch again populating my old black leather Filofax ... local town stationers stock requirements for it
Will read the blue link you posted @Beenherebefore when I've had a little bit of rest ... ... ... all enjoy the rest of your weekend ... ... ... & ... ... ... @Cleoriff your One Drive or is it One Note, I shall check your post after the much needed rest = no matter the time of day

Strangely I have pages of passwords within my "book". Not bank details but work ones....though ironically by the time you've cracked the boot password, you've then got the windows login then you need to get past the VPN access since the computer is effectively a dumb terminal. If you haven't given up by then.....Needless to say, passwords rotate every so often any thief would need to guess where in the password list is my current one as I keep all the old ones and they don't repeat! Security by obscurity is the key...
Though working across multiple computers and operating systems with multiple access methods (passwords are one part), lets just say I"m used to knowing who to contact when I forget which password access what system

Well it all sounds good to me @sheepdog ... ... ... if only I had the key to decipher what it all meant
