Here is another reason to write your passwords down: At my workplace there was a programmer. One day he had a heart attack, and was put into a 3 week artifiscal coma. When he woke again, he could not remember any passwords. Everything was a pain. To this day, his website ends the day, he had the attack.


I think what you have here is more an argument for making sure there are redundancies in who has access to your vital systems.

Not so sure how my loved ones would feel about my employer asking to go through my personal effects if I was in a coma.
