It's not dumb, it's just a little inconvenient. My passwords are normally 50+ characters and pretty hard to type out, but I could fix that with "Correct Horse Battery Staple" passwords.
Travelling is a little worse. I'd need to carry my little pocket book an risk losing it and now I can't lock my accounts, because I don't have the password for them (I could have a backup).
You know, I'm kinda talking myself into just doing passwords in a pocket book.
Out of pure interest, why not settle down to idk .. 15-20 characters? Why 50+ char (with what I assume lots of symbols and randomized characters) passwords?
