It seems you're asking two questions (you didn't mean to but you are).

Per the first question of a password db in debian - there is keychain
support for most applications. There is also keypass (already mentioned).
And web services like lastpass.

As for your second question about authentication in phone - I'll start out
by saying that I don't develop in php. So fwiw, you setup a transactional
db. You decide on an encryption schema (blowfish should do for you) and you
put some auditing fields that your program checks that helps with
management (lock out, reset time, fails, last login, realms, etc). You also
generate your per user sault that gets changed with the password (and
possibly per x successful logins).

There are probably php modules to help with some of the back end logic as
well.
