I guess now is as good a time as any for them to start using a proper password manager.
Personally, I recommend Keepass - it has multiple clients for all platforms, and you can keep the file in sync with a program of your own choosing, like Dropbox, syncthing or whatever you like.
Shoutouts to paper and pen.
Keep the booklet in a safe place.
If you never, ever need your passwords outside of your home, that's great advice - it's as secure as can be against digital theft. Less so against fire though, and backups are out of the question.
I just store all my passwords in robots.txt on my web server, makes it easy for me to access them anywhere I go...
