I like to type out a random set of numbers and letters and save them to a notepad. It's the best defense against brute force attacks. The bitcointalk hack that happened in 2015 wouldn't have been a problem for anyone if their passwords were good because all the passwords needed to be bruteforced.

Is that okay to save your password on a notepad? If talking about hassle to input really long passwords with signs, numbers and letters with Caps it was tiring but keeping it away from your notepad makes it safer. i just really get this idea since this was a rule of thumb given by professionals in the industry.

Well it isn't conventional to keep passwords in a notepad but it works for me. It would be more secure to encrypt the notepad file, but then I would need to remember another password...

Saving your password in notepad even in other files in your PERSONAL COMPUTER is safe just make sure you are the only one using IT, and the no. 1 needs to avoid is sharing your email address to other people much better if you create spare email to share publicly and your private email will keep it private. Hackers can find a way to hack somebody accounts their thinking and device is much advance than us that is why avoid sharing your email in other people to lessen the risk of your account.
