Re: Password managment and security

I store all account and PW info off site as well.

I've kept my passwords in a text file for ages now, and I do realise that is absurdly insecure. I've always felt somewhat protected because I know a bit about internet security, am behind a hardware firewall, along with various other protection methods. On the other hand the fact that I do know a bit about security makes me keeping my passwords in a text file even more absurd.
However I have become increasingly paranoid about this and am now at the stage of doing something about it. I'm going to use password safe on my computer, but the question remains, how do you secure the paper copies you keep for backup?! I just can't come up with a total solution which doesn't have a fatal weakness somewhere in the security chain...
So passwords on your computers locked up in something like password safe, then backup passwords on paper locked in a safe? What if your house burns down? Another safe at parents/trusted friends house?
Yes I am becoming paranoid.
