Do not write your password down and leave it near your computer
Writing your password on a 'sticky-note' and sticking it on
your monitor makes it very easy for people who regularly steal passwords
to obtain yours. Hiding it under your keyboard or mouse pad is not much
better, as these are common hiding places for passwords. However if you
must write something down, jot down a hint or clue that will help jog
your memory or store the written password in a secure, locked place.
