Do not write your real password. Instead modify it in certain way which is easy to remember: E.g real password is "xB6fqmd$a90". Apply algo: swap 2nd and last char. So store it as: "x06fqmd$a9B" This algo should be easy

As a big fan of UPI, I have a concern if people became too much dependent on it. What happens when there is a power outage for extended period of time (due to war, natural calamity, grid failure, etc)? Most shops in India do not have backup
