Sorry but I fully support the filofax/notebook method. They can’t be hacked, a password manager can.

Can a password manager be hacked?? Source? A filofax/notebook can be stolen (or not stolen, just photo’ed) and the likelihood is that the passwords are still easy to brute-force because they have to be easy to type. But still a LOT better than using the same password for multiple websites.

Not that I’d use it myself, but for an average user Google/Chrome will do a good job of creating and remembering your passwords (and auto-filling them). Unique passwords is IMHO the #1 security measure. No-one hacks the banks – the hack PC World or BA and then use those credentials..
