I would think the best way would instead of even having it on a device that interfaces with the web to instead put it just on good old fashion pen and paper and hide it. That prevents electronic measures from retrieving it.

I wrote the article based on industry experience and the research backs up my opinion. Here is some research suggesting that writing down passwords is a bad idea and you still have to worry about simple key loggers when typing it back in. If you still think writing it down is the best idea, you might want to make sure your password is in a secure fire rated safe (Amazon sells some great ones).

Yes Keyloggers are a problem, interfacing with any computer that has been connected with the internet is a risk. The best way would be to setup a dummy account and transfer any sizable funds there, of course that removes the option to up vote with your power, but still saved. Thank you for responding, and great post!
Thanks for the replies and reading the post.
