You can also use a password manager that's not connected to a cloud. Or an encrypted usb stick. The problem with writing it on paper is, that people tend to use too short passwords or repeated passphrases. Using a really long master key and a key file with an encrypted database is safer than a cloud.
Usb sticks corrupts damn easily. Even faster carrying them around. Learnt that the hard way.
Or does anyone know about an usb stick that is practically immortal, that they can recommend?
NVME ssd in a carry usb adapter. It's as reliable as a regular ssd, but it's way more portable and durable than commercial external hdds. A little bigger than usb flash drives but worth the tradeoff. Wouldn't use it as the only backup place for a password dB file but for carrying around its pretty good.
