If you used any stateful password manager instead of a piece of paper, then the passwords would be stored in an encrypted fashion. Don't give out your master password and your passwords are useless to an attacker.

If you use a paper based solution, just alter the passwords you write down using some additional information only known to you - maybe some prefix or suffix and the list would be useless for an attacker.

If you think they can force you to divulge the master password or your password scheme if you're using paper (they probably can, see https://xkcd.com/538/), then LessPass won't be of any help to you either.
