Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you’re hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.
DD MMM YY (or alternatively YYYY)

Ambiguity gone.
For anyone curious about those audits. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
As with most things security it’s about assessing your risk.
If you’re a granny with a hand full of passwords then a notebook is probably fine.
I think for most people, who aren’t CEOs, high value employees, or some kind of holder of the keys to a kingdom beyond their personal bank account, a solid full e2ee password manager that’s cloud synced is a nice middle ground of security vs convenience. It beats a post it under keyboard or a notebook left on the night stand.
For those CEOs, or high value employees then something offline is in order. Or as I’ve seen others note perhaps a combo of full offline and cloud synced for less important logins.
I recommend Bitwarden as others have here. It seems to be the one that’s come through unscathed thus far and the company behind it seems to be making the right moves to stay ahead of risks. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
Kind of a peripheral to this there are specialized toothpastes that I feel like a lot of people don’t know about. I had some gum issues that also made flossing uncomfortable. My dentist recommended Crest Gum Detoxify which, when used along with regular flossing, got my gums right real fast. Basically one 6 month cleaning period of using the toothpaste and flossing regularly and now my gums don’t bother me. Now I use two toothpastes. Gum detox in the morning and flossing with regular toothpaste in the evening. No more gum problems.
I get the joke.
But related real talk phones get got a lot. They won’t need to steal your phone they’ll just hack it like every other computer on the planet.
You don’t have to look much for the evidence.
