Do you have some pointers to countries with law banning the write-down of passwords?

I'm CISO in a french university, and I officially tell my users they can write down their new password as long as it stays hidden in their wallet, and as long as they destroy the paper when they are confident they memorized it.
We also provide our staff with a self hosted password storage web application.
