I have a separate file with all that information in it.  AND it is password protected so I only need to remember one!

I have to write mine down and then I have to try to remember where I put the note!  Very frustrating sometimes!  And, I have to try to keep up with my husbands' passwords too!  Its like the blind leading the blind around our house when it comes to trying to locate a password! lol

Most of the time I memorize passwords. Can you believe I've had the same pin number on my debit card for the last 30 years. Obviously I've received new cards throughout this time and when they send me my new pin, I just go to the ATM and change it to the one I've had for 30 years. I've never written it down because I don't need to. As far as passwords are concerned, no two of mine are the same and most of the time, I don't write them down. Occasionally however, if a new password demands a specific sequence, I will write it down just once and from that moment on, I'm good. I hardly ever need to request a password change and I shred my codes as soon as they're memorized.

With having to have a cap letter, a small letter, a number, a symbol, and having to change them every 3 months or so how can you not write them down???  lol

No I'm terrible about remembering stuff. I write down a few, but most of the time? >Forgot password link xD

I try to use variation on a theme for my passwords when possible. But that still leaves me with a few too many variations when I visit a site I haven't been to in a while lol

Also that "save password" feature on some sites or in Chrome? Often great until you're on a new computer or the password saving feature gets reset somehow. Then I'm completely blind xD

I can remember most of my passwords. But, with some of the sites that make you change your password every so often, it is kinda of hard at times. So, I write a few of my passwords down.
