I wonder if a system like this would be good for your general problem:

Generate a random seed sentence of so many words. From the secret seed + site domain name generate a password

Store piece of paper with:

Algorithm (could be public in github too) Seed word Site names



Wouldn't biometrics be good use case here since OP doesn't want to remember it?


Yes if you can get a biometric that you can keep secret, and can easily access.

Finger prints aren't very good (they end up everywhere!). Retina scan? Not very cheap I'm guessing. Face? Definitely not secret.


Yes!! Is there a solution like that?
