It’s pretty safe. Competent password managers will be heavily encrypted. Having your passwords hacked is essentially unheard of. You don’t have to worry about it being on someone else’s computer as without your master password the password file is useless.
I think the biggest case was LastPass, and they did it by getting a keylogger onto a developers PC to get at their password, but afaik customer passwords were safe unless your master password was weak or reused from a breached one.
But, a notebook isn’t hackable at all. But then the people around you could potentially get into it, which is a far more likely threat for a ton of people.
Either way use 2FA at every site that will allow it.
It really depends what the user fills it with. “Clever” solutions like using your daughter’s birthday, or other hard-to-remember-but-easy-to-deduce strings.
It should be accompanied by a little machine that spits out random passwords, I’m thinking a rubics-cube-shaped bling pendant at the end of the bookmark band.

I’ve not found anything better. Storing on my computer, or worse someone else’s computer, doesn’t seem safe.

One master password to rule them all, One server to find them, One password to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Yeah I use 2FA with the master notebook.
The trick is to use code language, and don’t forget the code. Then you can use digital sources more freely, I feel.
