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?
