Post its are never a good idea. Why have passwords if they are? Passwords exists to limit access and provide auditing. Making it easy for somebody in your group or company to use your identity is not a good thing.
The main reason I don't store passwords beyond the obvious security issues is that I WILL forget a password if I don't have to type it in regularly.

Post-It notes Posted Dec 3, 2006 15:55 UTC (Sun) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link] As the post you are responding to pointed out, post-it notes are useful because access to them is restricted to a physical domain, which can be quite small. A post it note on my computer here, for example, will be viewable by myself and a few close friends who visit my apartment. The risk is _quite_ small, and it would be fine for most applications.
