For most people, writing (most of) their password on a piece of paper that they keep in their wallet would be pretty good security.
Paper can't be hacked, and writing down the password allows for more complicated passwords. In case someone gets access to your wallet, you still keep a portion of the password not written down.
(And if someone gets physical access to your stuff, you are hosed in general, because they can just install a keylogger. So even keeping your password fragment on a post-it under your keyboard would be fine-ish.)
It really depends on what password. At home our wifi password is on a paper, right there on the office board. If you landed in the room, I won't feel more in security if you need other actions to get the password out of me.

You probably should know that recent smartphones (the most likely devices to ask for a wifi password at home) have features to share a password right in the settings. iPhones will simply ask you (or anyone connected) to allow them, and androids have some sort of sharing enabled (via qr code generally).
