I travel frequently. Often outside of the US. I decided when in Mexico
that I could possibly lose the tiny notepad so I took photos of my
passwords on it. I did this on a Mexican phone and I have often used
these photos when I couldn't remember rarely used passwords and my
notepad wasn't with me. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I also use Google photos and drive since I download a lot of photos of
different beards and moustaches since this is the one thing I can change
to look different  (hey it's fun).

Suddenly, I discovered yesterday, basically by accident, that Google, on
it's own, without asking permission, just decided that it should backup
folders including my photos.

Now Google has all of my usernames and account numbers and passwords
that are in those photos.

So today, I have to change every single password and username in those
photos.
Which means I have to drop every single forum, app info, etc. And sign
up again.

NOTE WELL:
I also discovered that Google is not just storing passwords in Chrome,
but is also monitoring ALL my app activities, passwords AND passing
(selling most likely) my profile info and reviews to companies. Their
wording is deliberately obscure as to what exactly is being stored and
disclosed to others.

I use JuiceSSH on my Android phone. I like it.
Guess what. Now I can't use it or definitely I may or am getting my
usernames and passwords stolen!
I also do not want my actual activities showing up. You know, like
database passwords,etc.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to deal with this.
Not being able to use SSH on my phone is a problem.
Yet I see that this is no longer an option.

Google is now very clearly out of control and violating, against our
will, any level of privacy and not asking permission.
Yet, they also offer some very alluring services such as YouTubeTV,
which I both use and like. It's basically cheap cable that's portable
and has DVR also included.

I'm going to start another thread right now that is probably a better
place to answer this in, instead of spread over two threads.
