    I don't mean any disrespect but there are a couple of flaws in your thinking. 

    1. You don't trust Apple's or any other cloud storage for security. But you trust an app developer who is offering a free password manager app for security? Did you read the "Terms of Use" from their website?

    2. You apparently assume WiFi is  secure. Back in the early 2000's I used to drive around my neighborhood with a Windows XP laptop with a pcmcia wireless network card that had an external antenna and noted all the WiFi SSID's that had open or WEP security. I'd stop and point my external antenna out the window. I'd wait for about an hour and collect as much data using Wireshark as possible, then save the file with notes on the house address. I then could use other software tools to crack WiFi passwords.

    While WiFi security has vastly improved but so have the tools. There are tons of hardware and software tools that are used to collect data on WiFi networks, heck there are complete linux distributions that are built exclusively for penetration testing and can absolutely be used to hack/crack WiFi especially the WPA2 Personal security protocol. After all it's just a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). WPA2 Personal is the most widely adapted security protocol used on home WiFi devices. Given enough time with the right tools WPA2 Personal can be cracked.

    3. You need to change your mindset. First you have to assume that there's nothing you can do to keep your data or passwords 100% safe, then determine who you trust more.
