Try post-it notes on the monitors :)

Actually, how about keeping them on a piece of paper in your wallet. If
you're really concerned about someone obtaining that piece of paper, don't
identify them as passwords and maybe use a real simple encryption scheme
(such as reversed order, or opposite case, etc).
