I have a non-networked (except temporarily, for apt upgrades)  Ubuntu
(sorry.  :-)) with a file that has my Passwords in it.  I update it, when
changing passwords, or adding something new.   I routinely respond "never"
to offers to save my Passwords in Firefox and Chromium. I have exceptions
for a few routine sites, like my Doctor's, where I allow Auto Password
processing.

Paranoid?  You bet!
