If you mean logins and password for various websites it depends. There is several tactics for that.
Some use password managers, you encrypt all other passwords and logins with one password so they can be even random, you need to remember only one.
Some use different passwords for important websites, and some one general password for less important websites. You minimize things to remember here.
Writing login/pass on paper also could work, thats why paper wallet was created for bitcoin, but it demand physical security then.

You can save all your information on a device which you only use for storing something very important like ID/USER, Password and more if you have one. If you did start typing your passwords, emails, user id in the NOTEPAD if you have a computer which is for storing files only and no internet connection. If not, just write it in a paper and also make a back-up with your files like KEYSTORE/JSON file and encrypt your file.

Best way to save passwords is by encrypting your email... I am still learning the process and ropes of it, but you can google it, test run and then see how it goes... Even if someone sees it, they wont even understand anything.

Not safe. The best way to do this is to save it yourself, save it for a long period of time, and make multiple backups. This is the safest way.

thank you so much for leaving me an idea to save it, i had anxiously disquiet about this, at first im quite clumsy, so hope to seek a better solution to solve my problem, i had lost once my first bitcoin wallet which is registered at 2010

Of course you can write him on paper, but how long can you keep a piece of paper? This method is still not safe enough. I feel that it is safer and more convenient to use password encryption on the hard disk.

Write them down to save them. At the same time, when you put the keywords can use only you know. You can add a nonsense keyword to your keyword. Make sure you remember that distinctive feature. Good luck

yes, I think that's the best way to manually write a Private Key from a bitcoin account or something else, only if you feel it's important, rather than regrets later when you lose the softcopy of all those accounts

It is always advisable to print all IDs and passwords on paper, make several copies and save in different places to be more secure

Saving your important passwords and private keys are good. But then you will need a powerful safe to store them in so as not to lose them due to flooding or fire outbreaks. Do what I do. Open a fresh email account. Then save your passwords and important private key and documents in the drafts of the email. Ensure you don't use this email for any website. Don't use it for sign ups anywhere to reduce the chances of it getting hacked. You should be fine.

Oh well, it's much better to take time to write it up and save it in your filing records, instead of doing this, since you are saving important information
then better to make it more secure, having it save inside your email is not a good idea, hackers are just around and they can do everything to hack
even the safest email that we have, so instead of doing that better to take time and do it manually and if possible you can ask some assistance from
your love ones and together you can save it safer place.

Copying or writing down ID and password of your wallet is not a bad idea.
but keep in mind that you must store it in the safe place. otherwise, your paper will be lost easily.

That's the precious thing we shouldn't lost of. If I were you, take patience to print it out and keep it into something you'll always remember. Anyways, some browser can help you save your password or keep you logged-in but its quite risky at some instance.

You can save it on a usb or hard disk, I think it's more secure, and can be opened at any time if you forget, you can also write your ID and Password in the book important note you, because by saving your important notes in the book that's very safe.

I think it's perfectly safe if you write your password and id on paper, because if your computer or laptop is damaged and you forget your password and ID you will not panic because you've written on paper and kept it in a safe place but it is easy to remember.
