Where do you locally store your complex passwords to copy paste when you need them?
Have 2 really complex passwords that i use for most things. I store them in a notepad on my desktop PC. I also store them in "notes" on my email account.

Thats probably where most people store them and thats where people would look first for passwords. If you have any reasonable(doesn't have to be a paid version) password manager(so that it could actually check and change your passwords for you) that should be sufficient as long as you don't have that master password written in obvious places.
I´m not stupid enough to store any of that electronically.

they're in a black note book taped under my desk next to my gun holster.

why would you ever save any pw on your device?? what if you get compromised?

In my head, I have a genius IQ after all.

Well firstly, I make sure they are all super strong, then I write them all down on a piece of paper so that any visitor who stumbles across them can whip out their phone and take a picture. I'm thoughtful like that.
I tattoo them on myself. I've never lost a password yet.

notepad on external hdd or ssd

of course only me know which folder and file have it

but for my email like google or hotmail it is only in my head, so if the dude doesnt know my email it going to be pointless to use my password
very funny OP.. :) good troll or good fish who here is ripe for having their bank account emptied?

I have my passwords fysically handwritten down on one of the pages of a fysical notebook
I have put away in a certain closet.
even if burglars went looking.. they would not know where to find it.. (it's not near the pc as I know my passwords from mind only the ones I rarely use I need to look up) and even if they found it AND figured this one notebook of the many I have in the house has that codeword.. (which is hard for all the other pages are used normally as a notebook) the passwords are encrypted.. so unless they have the same knowledge of physics and non base 10 numbers..
if they manage to convert that... than they have merely a page of lletters and numbers...
most of those are filler.. utter bullocks... to know which segments are real.. you need to know my code...
liike I use keywords like BIBO = bigbrother = goverment login..

the only thing I do worry about when I die.. no family relative will ever be able to acces anything I use... and close it down..
Use an offline password manager such as KeePassXC.

Edit: KeePassXC is free and open source.
