@shortridge My family has a list of four words, a symbol, and a number. At home I have a small booklet with all my passwords written as (for example) 4ws# indicating all 4 words, followed by the symbol, followed by the number.

If I update my passwords, I write down the new 4 words, new symbol, new number, give it to family (I think my Dad keeps it in a fireproof safe deposit box hidden somewhere in his house), and don't have to update anything in my own password keeping booklet.
