I switched a little over two years ago to LastPass and I love it. I am using randomly generated passwords between 12 and 15 characters long and I've never felt more secure. LastPass has a plugin for all browsers and apps for iPhone and Android devices, so I'm never more than one password away from about 300 unique and individually generated passwords.
More importantly, they have a test function that will review all of your passwords, note those that need updating or that are insecure and will score your security level on the basis of the passwords you are using.
I know I sound like an advertisement, but I couldn't be happier with LastPass.

The only way this would be useful is if you carried that notebook w/ you everywhere you went, which would thus make it extremely insecure. Password managers are accessible from anywhere can generate unique and extremely long (ie secure) passwords. They can only be unlocked w/ a master password that you know and you can set up 2FA if they're opened from anyplace new.
Use a digital password vault.

Malcolm,
I agree about using various password managers, but it's not uncommon for people to have some passwords saved in a browser (sometimes without even realizing it.)
It maybe better to write down your passwords in a notebook using a pen. Digital password wallets are too dangerous and unsafe.
