I use Firefox's built-in manager for "low threat" passwords such as that
for my Reddit account (I also write them down).  Most of my passwords
fall in this class.  Important passwords are recorded only in my "little
black book".

I also use a different user name for every Web account.

One reason for writing down all your passwords (even if only on a list
stored in your safe deposit box) is related to the item that started
this thread: not making things difficult for whoever has to deal with
your estate.
