There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, so I'd say use the one that you prefer.
Thanks Russell. I have most of my passwords in KeePass2. I figured the important ones were safer being written down, though. But those are two-factor authentication cases anyway. Google and Chrome always want my passwords and I always say no. Maybe I should use them? Or just put all my passwords in Keepass2. I could even get one of those Key Files for Keepass2.
