Clever place to keep the WiFi Router password?

Just that really.

I have the sticker floating about threatening to get itself lost (it's also on the router itself but it's a pain to turn it around)

Anywhere obvious and really useful that I can stick it? Or something to stick it to?

I'm sure some Mumsnetters have some great ideas that I haven't thought of.

I have an image saved in my phone, plus a handwritten post-it note stuck inside a cabinet door in the kitchen (with blutack so it stays put)

The official card is somewhere about too…Confused

Where do you store other passwords? If recommend using something like Lastpass to keep it safe.
Please don't keep it on show.

Oh, I thought i=you meant to hide it from pre teens who misuse roblox. (That might just be me).

Stuck on the underside of a kettle would be my guess in that case. Otherwise just put it in your diary.

Take a pic, save to Favourites, and also email yourself the photo with 'wifi password' as the subject so it's easy to find in future.

Change the password to something that’s memorable and chuck it away

Stuck to inside of the ingredients cupboard door where annoying relatives will never find it. Why visit and spend all the time on your phone. Might as well stay at home and WhatsApp me!

I keep a favourited photo on the phone, and the actual tab is hidden in a drawer.

There's one attached to the router and one held by a magnet on the microwave.

@Brunilde

Take a photo on your phone and save in its own album so it's easy to find. Then put the sticker somewhere safe never to be found again

This ^

It's what I do.

When you get new tech & it needs linking.

Isn't it on the bottom of your actual router?

I have battery operated candles on the mantle piece. The sticker with the Wi-Fi password is now stuck to the bottom of one of them.
This means we know where it is at all times, but strangers would have no clue.

On fridge. In your phone.

Change the default router password for God’s sake.
To something over 10 characters long, preferably including a special character.
Throw the default password away.
Save the new password on your phone as a contact or send it to yourself via email.
