Sounds like something security services would love people to use. Instead of using wrench to extract the password - and distressed person may lose memory, they can just locate the passkey.


Nobody is safe from a nation-state "attack" they'll just go threaten your providers to give up your data. Passwords written on paper are probably safer than a centralized password manager for almost every circumstance other than a government coming after you.


Papers: Safe - yes. Easy to lose/misplace: also yes.


Humanity having millennia of experience securing them: also yes.


I’d like to see them threaten Apple or Bank of America.
