I try to keep changing my passwords to stay secure. When I can't remember my new one, I found a way to keep track. When I get an email to help me reset it, I go back to it after I have reset the password and type it in that email and resend it to myself. Then I put a special label on it and archive it. When I have another problem, I can go to my emails and find it instead of making up a new password.

This still leaves you with the inability to get in if your computer would crash, also leaves it open for hackers and other ID theft to happen.
When a virus hacks your email, and believe me, it happens often....you will find others getting your information from your emails too.
I always send to the victim when I get an email from them. There are robo programs just scanning for your info.
You should never leave any passwords or secure information, credit card numbers, personal information, etc on your computer. Each and every day proves that it is not secure, not are your smart phone status abilities.
My own solution. I keep a book on my bookshelf by my computer, in it I write out passwords, security information. And I change it often, as suggested. One of my adult kids who lives nearby, knows where the book is, and if information has to be gotten, he can do it. It looks like any other notebook, phone book, etc.
This also allows me to know when the last time the password/security was changed out...I dated it. You should change out at least a couple times a year.
