Kill The Password
ahh yes!
unexpected problems (show stoppers)
seriously though that is a fairly good method most of the time (when the page doesn;t change)
and you can probably minimize the risk by looking at another page, only known to yourself with a backup clue hidden there.
It means your passwords are safely stored where nobody can find them, except yourself and also perhaps a skilled hypnotist or mind reader,

Somewhere within the OS is the binary file that holds the recorded recognition system of choice (retina, face, voice, EEG, combo). Alter that, and ooopsies, substitute with my binary, and your binary no longer works. Can we say owned?
If the machine stores it, it will be found... if the cloud stores it, found. Ultimately, all this new stuff is the same as the old stuff. Only the term has changed.

Two more thoughts
It is quite satisfying to login with a complex password that you have memorized and retained for a long period.
Relying on written records and having to look them up is almost like you have not learned something in class and always have to consult a cheat sheet.
With old machines removal of the 'cmos button cell' battery CR2032 or similar from the motherboard for 3 minutes would usually reset the BIOS password.

Another article providing a little different point of view.
Edited: For clarity this statement: I am not advocating one way or another. I am aware of what is occurring in industry and variously over the web. Thus items I share are merely observations only and are not positional. For me, much of this, I don't have a choice, but I can understand how to make use if/when required. Thus I am not shocked/surprised by any of these.
