Simple encryption is the answer.
Writing down passwords is idiotic; remembering them is impossible, especially strong passwords that have to change every 30 days. However, there are some very simple ways to generate reasonably secure passwords. Try this one:
- use a word and a year that you can remember
- write it down - e.g. Joshua1966
- create your actual password by swapping letters two and three, and adding 1001 e.g. Jsohua2967.

Even government ministers can remember a couple of simple rules like this, yet it would take an awful lot of work for anyone else to crack - even if they found your list of passwords.
