I built something similar for my personal use. It is an encrypted
database, and even the entries are in a nomenclature that only I know. I
literally could show someone the password from my database and it would be
meaningless to them, but it is a formula for how the password works.
It is a pain, but never allow the web browser to remember your passwords.

I have a password system that allows me to create a unique password for
each site, but I can figure out what it is by the system if I have
forgotten it. I keep a list for backup (on paper), but this has served me
well. Obviously I don't want to go into too much detail, but everything
that needs a password has one unique feature, and one feature tying it to
a group. Since you all are clever people, you can figure something out.
Add a common element to make the passwords long enough (passphrase or
acronym) and you are good to go. You wind up with some combination of
[common part + group part + unique part] The hardest part is changing all
the passwords!
And after a 35 year career as an engineer with one foot in the IT world, I
am amused to say that it was my 80-year-old father who provided me
with the system. I'm not sure I ever would have thought of it on my own.
I don't know where he got it from, but I'm grateful for how much easier my
modern life is.

Jim,
I can't say for all, but I just bought a "U" window AC unit. There is an
app for
it you have to down load. When we did, it wanted access to everything on
our
smart phone. So we deleted the app. It doesn't need access to anything
on
my smart phone.
This how "smart" thing is getting rediculous. All these web sites that
require a
log on to even "window" shop. I now have about 400 passwords, and I'm
supposed to remember them? Same thing with apps. If I can go to a site
with
my browser on my desk top, WHY do I need an app to do the same thing on my
cell phone? I've quit going to all those sites. But I doubt they will
get the
message.
John
