    Why is this being downvoted? As long as the paper is not easy to access then in all ways this is better then software.

    Sorry but “as a Software Engineer” every solution must be software is the vibe I am getting.

      You have to log into a website. Enter the password from the sheet of paper. Now log in again with a password manager that has autofill.

      Paper is not better in “all ways” and that’s why this thread is being downvoted.

          The possibility to loose the paper or than someone else has access to it is way greater than others getting access to your account or loosing access or the data in a cloud-based application.

      You cannot generate a password on paper, that’s why. Keeping your master password written down isn’t the worst idea though. It’s a rudimentary 2FA.
